Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Assuming you have primamry timeshare, you cannot move your child more than 50 miles without permission from the father on a special form or without permission from the judge. If you move without following the law, you could lose primary timeshare.

You must either get the Father's permission in writing allowing you to move (you must then file this with the court) or you must File a Petition for Relocation with the clerk of the court that heard the visitation matter and serve it on the father of your child. Proper service and notice to him is very important. I would encourage you to, at the very least, meet in person with a family law attorney in your area.

With this Petition you are asking the court to allow you to move. If the Father disagrees you will have a hearing. Be able to show why you need to move, how the move will be better for the child and how the child will still be able to see her father and the steps you will take to guarantee this.

Yes it is possible. You would need to get the father's written permission allowing you to move. A copy of this must be filed with the court. If he is unwilling to permit this you would have to File a Petition for Relocation with the court. I know you said your income is low. But I would at least try to have consultation with a lawyer in your area.

You have to get written permission from the father to relocate or an order from the court
