Recent economic hardships have created the need for many individuals to explore job opportunities in other cities and states. Additionally, many individuals establish new relationships after divorce, or require assistance from family members and decide to move to be closer to them.

When relocation situations happen, it is important to consult with a skilled relocation lawyer. Without proper representation, you could experience inappropriate consequences to time-sharing and/or child support. At Avila Family Law Office, I provide diligent representation for clients pursuing relocation, as well as clients opposed to it.
Relocation Guidelines
When dealing with relocations, the court follows the best interest of the child standard when making decisions about relocation. If you are pursuing relocation, you must prove that you are not relocating to prevent the other parent from seeing a child or as retaliation. You must also:
- Facilitate as much time as possible to compensate for lost time.
- Provide your new address, phone number and e-mail.
- Share parental responsibility using the Internet and open communication.
- Provide transportation to/from the other parent.
- Keep the relationship between the child and other parent as healthy as it was before the relocation.
The parent wishing to relocate has the burden to demonstrate that the move is in the child's best interest.
Fighting Against Relocation
As a dedicated Sarasota child relocation attorney, I have experience helping parents fight against relocation. I understand how to present facts to the judge to show that a move is not in a child's best interest. I will collect appropriate data, including:
- Crime rates
- High school dropout rates
- Medical facility ratios
I am committed to protecting my clients' rights at every stage of their cases.
