Relocation Attorneys in Gainesville
Fighting for Your & Your Child’s Best Interests
Divorce is already disruptive in the lives of children. The prospect of moving away from one parent often continues the disruption. Few issues following a divorce are as legally complex and emotionally charged as relocation. The courts understand the impact of relocation, making the approval of these requests both challenging and rare.
Experienced legal representation is needed to protect parental rights and ensure the best interests of the children. Whether you are pursuing or disputing a relocation, the attorneys at Dunham & Ingram will provide the diligent and compassionate legal advocacy you need.
Personalized Representation for Your Family Law Needs
Specific procedural rules must be followed in Florida when a custodial parent requests to relocate a child or children more than 50 miles away. First and foremost, any relocation must be in the best interests of the children.
Relocations can be pursued successfully with the cooperation and consent of the noncustodial parent. The agreement must be in writing, define visitation rights, and document transportation arrangements. Once agreed upon by both parties, the contract must be ratified by the court.
For disputed requests, a petition to relocate must be filed with the court. Detailed information must be provided as to the specific reasons for the relocation, the date of the move, and the intended new residence. If an agreement still cannot be reached, a hearing is scheduled to consider facts and circumstances regarding the parent-child relationship and the feasibility of maintaining that relationship.

When I was first looking to hire an attorney, I made contact with Dunham and Ingram first. They gave me great advice on my phone consultation and encouraged me to shop around and interview several firms and individuals. I went with my gut and the firm that gave me the best feeling and chose to hire Andy Ingram as my attorney. What I soon discovered is that Andy Ingram is amazing. I hired him to represent me in my case and was amazed with his results. Mr. Ingram worked on my case and kept me fully abreast of every development, the strategies for fighting my case and took the time to explain to me what everything meant. He was very mindful of my wallet and made the effort to exercise fiscal responsibility and not just see dollar signs. If you have a criminal case then I would encourage you to seek the guidance and expertise of Mr. Ingram. You will not be sorry that you did, if there is a positive that can come from your situation, he will find it and achieve it.Former Client

Divorce can be a tramatic experience for most people.Leading up to and during the experience a person feels many emotions such as sadness,loss betrayal and anger.I was feeling all of the afore mentioned feelings and more.In my search for an attorney I wanted someone who was tough and yet fair Someone suggested that I try Chris Dunham During my first meeting with him I knew Chris was who I was looking for.Chris led me through some tough times with a totally non uncooperative ex. I must say that his experience paid off I would highly recommend Chris and his staff at Dunham and Ingram I want to personally thank everyonr at his firm for making a terrible situation bearable Joe RaimoJoe R.
