Relocation After Marriage

by Jaime from Pembroke Pines, Florida, Broward County

Relocation After Marriage: My fiance may be enlisting into the Army by the time he does I will be his wife. We currently reside in Florida and I have two children from a previous marriage. My ex husband is unstable.



He moves around all the time, can't hold a job, doesn't have a vehicle and is $35k in arrears with child support. My question is will I be able to relocate with my children once my soon to be husband is assigned a duty station?

Answer to Florida Child Custody Question

Dear Jaime,

The process for parental relocation with children is that first you need to ask your ex for his written permission for you to relocate with the children.

If he agrees, this is absolutely the path of least resistance.

There is an entire series of forms on the Florida Supreme Court's website for parental relocation with minor children: 12.950 a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, and j.

These forms are designed for pro se litigants, and are free downloads. Go to www.flcourts.org and click on Family Law Forms in the center of the page under Self-Help.

If he doesn't readily agree to your relocation with the children, you'll have an opportunity at your hearing to convince the judge that the move is in the children's best interests.
