We live in a very mobile country and particularly transient state, so when divorced parties want to relocate it is sometimes a shock to the system to realize they need permission for the courts. There is a very specific Florida statute 61.13001 which govern relocation. The Statute specifically governs the relocation of the parent, not the child, which is even more confusing to most parents. As a rule, if you want to relocate more than 50 miles then you will be required to either file a Petition for Relocation or reach an agreement with the other party regarding the relocation.
