Can Your Law Firm Help Me with Relocation Legal Issues?

Sometimes situations arise that cause one parent to relocate to another place due to educational or employment opportunities or to assist other family members. Under Florida law, if the relocation area is more than 50 miles away from the primary residence that was established originally for the residency of the child, a formal legal request must be made to the court. The request must detail the reasons for the need to relocate.

Parents must keep in mind that the court will always make its decisions based on what is in the best interests of the child. If the other parent is opposed to the child being relocated, an objection must be submitted within 20 days after the original notice of intent to relocate was served.

If the other parent does not submit an objection within the specified time period, the court will automatically assume they are not opposed to the relocation. Therefore, if you are a parent who does not favor your child being relocated, it is essential that your objection be submitted promptly to the court.

Regardless of whether or not you are the parent wishing to relocate or posing an objection to your child moving, RTRLAW can assist you with filling out the legal paperwork and representing your interests in court.

When Is a Spouse Entitled to Alimony?

Florida offers several different types of alimony, or spousal support, as it is also commonly known. Spousal support can be temporary to fulfill the financial needs by one spouse until the divorce has been finalized, rehabilitative to allow a spouse to gain an education to reenter the workforce, durational which depends on how long the couple was married, or permanent alimony due to age or mental or physical disability.

When determining alimony, the court will evaluate the needs of each spouse before reaching a final decision. Alimony can be granted to either a man or a woman and greatly depends on each couple’s unique circumstances.

Some of the factors that a court may use to determine if alimony is appropriate include:

• How long the spouses have been married to one another;
• The age of each spouse;
• The physical and emotional condition of each spouse;
• The standard of living shared during the marriage;
• The income and financial resources of each spouse;

The educational level of each spouse and whether one spouse needs further education to be able to sufficiently support themselves.

If you feel that you will be in need of spousal support after your divorce, or you do not feel that alimony for your ex-spouse is necessary, contact RTRLAW to find out how our family law attorneys may be able to assist you.

Our skilled lawyers will provide the representation you need to ensure that your voice is heard. We can gather evidence and present your side to the court as well as negotiate with opposing counsel.
