If a parent or other person relocates a child without a petition to relocate and without following the requirements stated in the Florida statutes, that parent or other person may be subject to contempt proceedings or other proceedings to require return of the child.

The Court may take the attempted relocation into account when:

– making a determination regarding the relocation;
– determining whether the parenting plan or time-sharing schedule should be modified;
– deciding to order the temporary or permanent return of the child;
– deciding to order the parent seeking to relocate the child to pay reasonable expenses and attorney’s fees incurred by the other party;
– deciding to order the award of costs including interim travel expenses incident to access or time-sharing or securing the return of the child.

If an agreement on relocation has not been reached, “a parent or other person seeking relocation must file a petition to relocate and serve it upon the other parent, and every other person entitled to access to or time-sharing with the child.”

The petition to relocate must contain the following information and be signed under oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury:

– the address of the new residence;
– the phone number of the new residence;
– the date of intended move to the new location;
– a detailed statement of the reasons for the proposed relocation;
– a proposal for the revised schedule of time-sharing and transportation arrangements for the child after the relocation.

If the parents and every other person entitled to access to or time-sharing with the child agree regarding relocation of the child, they may sign a written agreement that:

– reflects the consent to the relocation;

– defines an access or time-sharing schedule for the non-relocating parent and any other persons who are entitled to access or time-sharing; and

– describes, if necessary, any transportation arrangements related to access or time-sharing.

“Relocation” is defined as a change in the principal residence of a parent or other person of at least 50 miles and for at least 60 consecutive days not including temporary absences for vacation, education, or health care.

Relocation is an important issue because it can significantly affect the continued reasonable access to the child by the other parent.

Relocation must be considered very carefully with regards to the best interests of the child.
