Morell v. Ruiz
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 9, 2016 · Logue, Salter, Suarez
207 So. 3d 293; 2016 Fla. App. LEXIS 16672 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Morell v. Ruiz

Opinion of the Court

SUAREZ, C.J.

Appellant Stephanie Morell appeals an Order requiring her to file a petition for relocation under Florida Statute Section 61.13001 (2016). We reverse because that statute has no application to the facts of this case. Appellant resided in Palm Beach County at the time the underlying action was filed and thus is not required to file a petition to obtain the trial court’s permission to “relocate” to Palm Beach County.

Reversed.
