Answer a guided questionnaire in your own words. Our document automation system builds your Agreement for Relocation and the motion that puts it in front of a judge. A Florida nonlawyer document preparer runs a clerical check before the packet reaches you.
Florida Supreme Court approved forms · You enter your own information · No legal advice
Section 61.13001, Florida Statutes, requires either a written agreement or a petition before a parent relocates with a child. A verbal understanding between two cooperative parents — even a friendly text thread — is not what the statute asks for.
Florida law provides that failing to comply may be treated as contempt, may weigh against permitting the relocation, and can support an order compelling the child's return.
School enrollment, a lease, and a start date rarely wait for paperwork that hasn't been drafted yet.
An agreement missing a time-sharing schedule or transportation terms doesn't meet what the statute asks for.
We would rather tell you this now than sell you the wrong thing. Read both columns. If the left one describes your situation, the package fits. If anything in the right one does, it doesn't.
If consent isn't there, the contested route is a Supplemental Petition to Permit Relocation, Form 12.950(c) or 12.950(d) — a different filing with different requirements. We'll point you to it rather than sell you a package built on agreement you don't have.
One flat fee for the whole package. No hourly billing, no retainer, no subscription. Your county's filing fee is paid separately to the clerk.
You enter your own facts through the questionnaire. Our document automation system places those answers onto the forms exactly as you wrote them. No person decides what goes in a blank.
You answer once. The system carries the same information across the agreement, the motion, and the parenting plan.
A Florida nonlawyer document preparer reviews the assembled packet against the court's published guidelines for blank fields, spelling and date inconsistencies, and missing signature or notary lines.
Nobody plans to become an expert in relocation statutes. You got a job in Charlotte, or your mother in Ohio needs you, or the rent finally broke you — and now there's a statute standing between your family and a moving truck.
JusticeXpress Florida comes out of 25 years of building public legal information for self-represented people — work that is now run by a state court system as a service to its citizens. Same conviction, applied here: the forms belong to you, and cooperation between two parents shouldn't cost $4,000 to write down.
“When both parents already agree, the paperwork should be the easy part. In Florida it usually isn't. That's the problem we work on.”
Before anything is assembled, you receive and sign the Disclosure from Nonlawyer, Form 12.900(a). We sign it too. You keep a copy. It takes about a minute.
You select which forms you want assembled, then enter your own facts online — the new address, the move date, your reasons, the schedule and travel terms you've agreed on. Save and come back anytime.
The system builds your documents. A nonlawyer document preparer checks the packet for clerical errors and returns anything unclear to you to confirm. You get signature-ready PDFs plus filing and notary instructions.
These are the forms the Florida Supreme Court's published instructions for Forms 12.950(a) and 12.950(b) identify as required or commonly filed. You decide which ones apply to your case — select them at checkout and the system assembles what you select. Each links to the court's instruction sheet so you can read it before you choose.
Section 61.13001(2)(a), Florida Statutes, describes three things a relocation agreement must do. Your questionnaire is built around them.
The agreement reflects that everyone entitled to time-sharing consents to the relocation.
It defines a schedule for the non-relocating parent and anyone else entitled to access.
It describes, if necessary, the transportation arrangements that make the schedule work.
You supply every fact. There is no interview and no one drafting on your behalf. You enter your information directly into an online questionnaire, in your own words. Our document automation system places those answers onto the official forms you selected. Then one person — a Florida nonlawyer document preparer — looks at the assembled packet for clerical problems only.
If the preparer finds something clerical, it comes back to you as a question — “the move date reads June 1 on the agreement and June 10 on the motion; which is correct?” — and you make the call. We do not change the substance of your answers. If your question is a legal one, we will say so plainly and point you to a Florida attorney rather than guess.
Registration takes a few minutes. You'll sign the nonlawyer disclosure first, then choose your forms and start the questionnaire. Nothing is assembled until both are done.

No. JusticeXpress Florida is a nonlawyer document preparation service. Under Rule 10‑2.1(b) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, a nonlawyer may place the factual information you provide in writing into Florida Supreme Court approved forms and may tell you how to file them. A nonlawyer may not give legal advice, tell you what your rights or remedies are, tell you what to put in a blank, or represent you in court. We are also not paralegals as that term is defined by the rule.
You do. Every fact on your forms comes from answers you enter into the questionnaire yourself. Our document automation system places those answers onto the correct fields of the forms you selected. No employee interviews you, interprets your situation, drafts language, or supplies content you didn't write. That's deliberate: it keeps the judgment about your case with you, where Florida law requires it to be.
It is a clerical check, not a legal opinion. A Florida nonlawyer document preparer compares the assembled packet against the Florida courts' published instructions for each form and looks for required fields left blank, misspellings in names and addresses, dates or figures that conflict between forms, missing signature and notary lines, and outdated form versions.
If something looks off, it comes back to you as a question and you decide. The preparer does not rewrite your answers, evaluate whether the court will approve the move, or tell you what a blank should say. Those are legal questions for an attorney.
Often not. Under section 61.13001, if no party requests a hearing in writing within 10 days after the agreement is filed, the court presumes the relocation is in the child's best interest and may ratify the agreement without an evidentiary hearing. If someone does timely request a hearing, you must notice the other party using Notice of Hearing (General), Form 12.923, or another appropriate notice form. Whether a hearing happens in your case is up to the parties and the judge, not up to us.
Then this package no longer fits, and you'd be looking at the contested route — a Supplemental Petition to Permit Relocation, Form 12.950(c) or 12.950(d), which has different requirements including a sworn statement of reasons and a formal objection notice. Your questionnaire answers already capture most of the underlying facts, so you would not be starting from a blank page. We'll tell you plainly when that's the situation.
It can, because the Florida guideline calculation takes the number of overnights into account, and a relocation usually changes them. Whether it changes in your case, and by how much, is not something we can tell you. If you and the other parent have agreed to adjust support, select the guidelines worksheet, financial affidavit, and certificate of compliance at checkout — there's no extra charge for those.
No. You file your own case, either at the clerk's counter or through the Florida Courts E‑Filing Portal. We include written instructions covering where to file, what the clerk will ask for, and which pages must be signed in front of a notary public or deputy clerk. Both parties must sign the agreement before a notary or deputy clerk — a signature alone is not enough.
Not in the legal sense. Because we are not attorneys, there is no attorney‑client privilege, and the information you enter is not privileged the way it would be with a lawyer. We protect your data as a matter of business practice and privacy law, but we want you to understand the distinction before you decide to use us.
Yes, and we'll tell you where: every Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form is published free at flcourts.gov, and your clerk's office will hand you a packet. What $89 buys is the questionnaire that turns plain questions into a completed packet without you re-entering the same information across four documents, and a clerical check before you file. If you'd rather do it yourself from the free forms, that is a completely legitimate choice and we'll point you to them.
JusticeXpress Florida is not a law firm and is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. The individual who reviews your assembled forms is a nonlawyer — a person who is not a member in good standing of The Florida Bar — and may not give legal advice, may not tell you what your rights or remedies are, may not tell you how to testify in court, and may not represent you in court.
Rule 10‑2.1(b) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar defines a paralegal as a person who works under the supervision of a member of The Florida Bar. The nonlawyer who reviews your forms does not meet that definition and does not hold themselves out as a paralegal.
Rule 10‑2.1(b) permits a nonlawyer to place into the blanks on a form only the factual information you provide in writing, and, where the form is one approved by the Supreme Court of Florida, to ask you factual questions to fill in those blanks and to tell you how to file the form. Except for that, a nonlawyer may not tell you what to put in the form and may not complete the form for you.
Our service is narrower than what the rule allows. You enter your own factual information directly into an online questionnaire. Our document automation system places your answers onto the court‑approved forms you have selected. No person at JusticeXpress Florida supplies, drafts, interprets, or edits the substance of your answers. The nonlawyer's role is limited to a clerical check for blank fields, misspellings, inconsistent dates or figures, missing signature and notary lines, and outdated form versions. Anything the preparer flags is returned to you as a question for you to resolve.
Before any form is assembled, you and the nonlawyer will complete and sign Disclosure from Nonlawyer, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.900(a). You will receive a signed copy to retain; we keep a copy in your file, along with copies of every form provided to you, for at least six years.
No outcome is promised or implied. Filing these forms does not guarantee that a court will approve the relocation or ratify your agreement. Purchase of this package does not create an attorney‑client relationship, and communications with us are not protected by attorney‑client privilege.
