Lakeland, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: Can i move? Staying withing 50 miles of my last residance, and no permenant parenting plan.

My son is 3. Never married to his father. He filed for full custody last march, we agreed to suspend pending an agreed upon a full parenting plan. We havent come to an agreement. I want a FULL plan, he is only interested in a time plan. I digress, i want to move to a better school district this summer. It will also put me closer to job opportunities. As im currently not working, its not feasible at this time due to our current location beion VERY rural. I also have 2 other children from a divorce (their father has already agreed) and child care is unavailabe. Im planning to stay within 50 miles of my old address. Ive already verbally told him and by text with no disagreement (i have printed copies). Do i need to file with the court too? Thank you in advance for the help.

A: Check out the relocation statute 61.13001. Since you are still in the midst of litigation you should consult an attorney to discuss strategies and ways to accomplish your ultimate goals regarding a parenting plan with the father.
