Asked in Family Law for Kentucky

Q: Who would I need to contact to get a case moved from Florida to Kentucky?

My case was opened in Kentucky and the custody of my daughter was granted back to me at the same time the custody of my son was granted to his father which lives in Jacksonville Florida. Since then his father had a case come against him for abuse and has further surrendered his rights. Now the state of Florida is trying to take my custody of my son. What legal action and who would I need to talk to, to get my case moved from Florida to Kentucky?

A: If the child is in Florida, and the State of Florida is taking some action to put the child in State custody, you need a lawyer in Florida as soon as possible. I am not licensed to practice law in Florida, so I couldn't say for sure, but I would not expect that you can simply "transfer" the case to another state- you are probably going to have to go to court there. Consult a Florida lawyer immediately.
