A parent who wants to move and cannot get the other parent’s agreement must file a petition to relocate that includes the new location, the date of the intended move, the reasons behind it, and a proposed post-move time-sharing schedule. The petition must be served on the other parent, who then has time to file an objection.
The detail in the petition matters, because a vague or incomplete filing can be denied on procedure alone. A parent relocation lawyer in the Port St. Lucie area prepares the petition so it satisfies the statute and presents the move in its strongest light.
