Can I move with my child?

The parent who wants to relocate with the minor child of the parties has the burden of proof if the other parent will not agree. The parent seeking to relocate must file and ask for the court's permission to relocate. That parent must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that that relocation is in the best interest of the child. If the relocating parent can meet that burden, the burden shifts to the non-relocating parent to show that the relocation is not in the child's best interest.
In determining whether a move is in the child's best interest the court considers all the factors under sections 61.13001 (7) Fla. Stat.
