Florida Parental Relocation Lawyer
Moving out of state - called parental relocation and child removal - can be a complex process for custodial parents. If you have custody of your children, you cannot leave the state with the children without court permission (or permission from ex, which needs to be in writing).
You must act quickly to prevent child removal
If you want to object to your former spouse's relocation request, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately.
Whether you wish to move your children out of state or you want to fight your ex's proposed relocation, having an experienced parental relocation attorney on your side can help considerably. For a free consultation, contact the Law Office of Maximilian Smith, Esq. today.
For Parents Who Are Seeking Parental Relocation Permission
You may have a very valid reason for wanting to move out of state with your children. You may have been offered a good job or wish to move closer to family. If your ex does not consent to your relocation, the courts will use one primary measure for granting or denying a child removal and relocation request: Is the relocation in the best interests of the child? The courts recognize that children usually benefit most from BOTH parents being active in their lives.
For Parents Who Need to Fight a Child Removal
You have a limited amount of time! Once your ex gives you a notice of the intent to relocate, you have a limited number of days to object and prevent the removal of your children. At the Law Office of Maximilian Smith, Esq., we help noncustodial parents protect their parental rights in relocation and child custody disputes. If the courts decide to grant the parental relocation, we may be able to help you secure a new parenting schedule giving you longer visitation times with your kids. It is important that a new parenting schedule specify who will pay the visitation-related travel expenses and also include provisions for telephone and e-mail contact with your children.
In any parental relocation case, our goal is to help a parent do what is best for his or her children. Sometimes that involves moving out of Florida, and other times that means keeping children near to both parents. No matter your need, the Orange County Law Office of Maximilian Smith, Esq. will work hard to protect your parental rights.
Paternity Actions to Prevent Parental Relocation
If you are not recognized as your child's father, you may fear that the mother of your child will move your child away from you - leaving you with no options. Attorney Maximilian Smith can help you assert your parental rights through a paternity action. Once you start a paternity action, your child's mother will be required to stay in the state, keeping your child close to you. As soon as paternity is established, you can then assert your parental rights to custody and visitation.
We will honestly evaluate your case and explain your options. For a free consultation, contact a parental relocation attorney at the Law Office of Maximilian Smith, Esq., in Winter Park, today.
