Resolving Relocation and Move-Away Disputes Through Mediation

| By Beth Reineke

Relocation and move-away disputes are particularly challenging because they involve significant changes that can profoundly impact the lives of both parents and children. These disputes often evoke strong emotions, touching on critical aspects such as child custody, visitation rights, and the child’s best interests.

One parent’s desire or need to relocate can conflict sharply with the other parent’s interest in maintaining a close, consistent relationship with their child. The complexities of balancing career opportunities, family ties, educational needs, and social stability make finding mutually agreeable solutions difficult.

Through Mediation

Mediation offers a structured environment for parents to discuss concerns and find workable solutions. Our skilled mediator, Beth Reineke, helps facilitate open communication, ensuring that both parties can express their needs and priorities to reach sustainable and amicable agreements.

Florida Relocation and Move-Away Disputes Can Be Resolved Through Mediation

Florida relocation and move-away disputes can be effectively resolved through mediation as the facilitator guides both parties to discuss and negotiate within the framework of established legal criteria.

Our mediator guides parents to focus on the child’s best interests, as defined by Florida law. This includes factors such as the child’s relationship with both parents, the impact of the move on the child’s development, and the feasibility of maintaining frequent contact with the non-relocating parent.

Mediation helps ensure that the parent’s decisions are fair, objective, and in the best interests of their children while minimizing the emotional volatility and adversarial nature often present in expensive, drawn out courtroom battles. This approach promotes practical, legally sound solutions that are more likely to be satisfactory to both parties and approved and enforced by the court.

Our skilled mediator offers the flexibility of in-person and virtual alternative dispute resolution (ADR) sessions to help ensure Florida parents can make the most of mediation. These sessions facilitate productive discussions between couples, helping them reach mutually acceptable solutions to all their unique family law issues, including child relocation disputes.
