Orlando & Kissimmee, Florida, Family Law & Relocation Attorneys
The prospect of a child relocating can be devastating for a parent. An opportunity to take a new job or pursue a new relationship often sees a mother or father moving away from the non-custodial parent.

Looking Out for the Best Interests of Your Children
The primary issues in relocation matters revolve around the best interests of their children. Would a move to another state damage an already positive and productive relationship with a parent active in the children's lives? Parents need to weigh the benefits and drawbacks for such a life-changing decision.
Striving for Resolution in an Emotionally and Legally-Complex Matter
At Lapina & DuBois, P.A., we try to find a middle ground. Custody can be altered to allow the non-custodial parent one large block of time to be with their child. Child support can be modified if the parent staying behind incurs greater expense in visiting the child or having the child travel to them for a visit.
In the state of Florida, parents must give thirty-days notice to the other parent regarding a relocation. This may result in a court hearing where a judge will hear both sides, but make a ruling based on what is best for the child.
