Port Saint Lucie, FL asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: We are now two hours apart. I used to have the boys every week. Will the judge make me have only summers now.

I filed a petition the day I thought she moving and turns out she actually did relocate the kids about two hours from Me. I don’t want to see them only summers. I moved here to be close to them, to be in their lives. Now I’m stuck in a year lease. And she is two hours away. The gas to get her is a lot let alone the time. She left without even telling me. How is this fair to me.

A: You do not mention what your current legal situation is. I am assuming that you are asking about a paternity case. Under the proper legal circumstances you could ask the court to order the mother to return to where she was living. Look for a local family lawyer for a consultation where you can get more specific advice.

Good luck.
