Q: If my ex is planning to move out the state with our son, what can I do to stop her from taking out of state?
My ex is planning to move out of Florida with my son. I
moved here in 2009 to be closer to him. She has not told me
but has told others that have advised me. I don't want to
jump if she's not going to move but I don't want to wait
till the last minute when they have spent their money and
made plans. She is telling everyone either before or after FEb. 2012.
What can I do? Do I need to wait till she is gone the 60
days (and it's over 50 miles from current residence) before
I can do anything? I am pretty sure she does not know she
can not move over 50 without filling it with the court but
until she tells me I don't want to tell her because she may
move and not tell me where or anything else. I just want to
know what to do...Should I wait till they are gone the 60
days and more than 50 miles without filling with the
court....or is there is something I can do now?
A:
If you have a court order here in Florida that says your son belongs here, then you need to file a motion for enforcement. you need her to express to the court her intentions - whatever they are. If you don't have a court order here in Florida, then move to modify the order that you have from another state OR get an order established NOW. It is imperative to do it now while Florida has jurisdiction (six month minimum) because if you wait.....you could lose it. Best.
