Ex-Wife Wants Me to Relocate to Bring Our Kid Back to Florida - What Should I Do?

Hey everyone,

I’m in a tough situation and could use some advice. My ex-wife is asking me to drop everything and move back to Florida to bring our child, who is currently with me in Georgia, back to her.

I’m struggling with what to do here. I want to do what’s best for my child, but I’m also concerned about the impact of such a move on my life and circumstances in Georgia.

What steps should I take to handle this situation? Are there legal considerations or mediation options that might help me navigate this issue? Any guidance or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated :wink:

This is a complex situation. You need to prioritize your child’s well-being while considering your own life. Consult an attorney to understand your legal rights and options. Mediation might help you and your ex-wife reach a mutually agreeable solution. Prioritize your child’s best interests and document everything related to your child’s care and well-being.

I found myself in a similar situation when my ex wanted to change custody arrangements, and it was tough balancing what was best for my child with my own life circumstances. First, I’d recommend seeking legal advice to understand your rights and obligations, especially since interstate custody issues can get complicated. Mediation could be a helpful step to negotiate a solution that works for both parties without going to court. It’s also important to consider how the move would affect your child’s stability and your own situation. Document everything and communicate openly with your ex to try to reach a mutual agreement that prioritizes your child’s well-being while addressing your concerns.
