Q: I need advice on my relocation case
I work as an independent travel sales agent specializing in Disney and Universal. It would be beneficial if I lived in Fl near Disney and Universal. Could I bring that up in family court as my reason to move, for my job.
The mother has every other weekend visits with my daughter.
To show I'm moving in good faith, I'd pay for my daughter to visit her mother one week in the summer and one week rotating holiday of Christmas and Thanksgiving.
A:
To relocate you must demonstrate that relocation is in the best interest of the child. That means the move will significantly benefit the child's overall well-being. This can include:
Improved Living Conditions
Educational Opportunities
Health and Welfare
Emotional and Psychological Benefits
Economic Stability
Maintaining Family Relationships.
You can bring up your occupation as a reason for moving. Your job's specific connection to Florida can be a compelling argument, particularly if living there would significantly benefit your career. Additionally, demonstrating your commitment to maintaining your daughter's relationship with her mother by offering to pay for visits shows good faith and a focus on your child's best interests. This consideration of your daughter's relationship with her mother is an important aspect the court will take into account
