Summary
In Florida, if a parent with shared custody plans to move more than 50 miles from the childs current primary residence, they must obtain written consent from the other parent or file a Petition to Relocate with the court. The primary residence is typically where the child spends most of their time, but this can vary based on the custody agreement. For further clarification, consult your custody agreement or a local attorney.Full Conversation
I am looking to get an answer to a relocation question
Hello Kara, I'd be happy to help. Could you please provide more details about your relocation question? Are you planning to move with a child, for instance, and is there a custody agreement in place?
Yes * child still under the age of * with shared custody
I understand, Kara. In Florida, if a parent with shared custody intends to move more than * miles away, they must:
- Obtain written consent from the other parent, or
- File a Petition to Relocate with the court.
Is there a specific question you have about this process?
ok * miles away from where? the current location of the child or where?
The * miles is measured from the child's current primary residence. Therefore, if you're planning to move more than this distance from the child's current home, you'll need to follow the legal procedures mentioned.
so if his father and I have shared custody is his primary residence considered my house for him or his fathers
The child's primary residence in shared custody situations usually depends on where the child spends most of the time. However, this can vary based on the specifics of the custody agreement. Please consult your agreement or a local attorney for clarification.
