Q: we never married and have no custody agreement. Can my 13yr old move with me out of state where she was born and i live?
Her mother evacuated there during hurricane katrina and promised they were movng back. I am on the birth certificate
A: Hurricane Katrina was in 2005, so the child would have been about 2 years old then. Are you saying that the child was born in Florida, or in another state? I interpret what you wrote as indicating that you want to move from Florida to another state, where the child was born. In any event, if there is no court case pending here, and no custody order, yes, I believe you can take the child with you and move to another state.
