Q: My 4 children live with me in Georgia. Florida issued a standing order. What overrides a standing order?
I live in Georgia with my 4 children. My stbxh lives in Florida. My children have lived solely with me for the last year. I filed in Georgia, he filed in Florida, Florida won jurisdiction. Florida issued a standing order when he originally filed. After Florida won jurisdiction he's trying to tell me that Florida winning jurisdiction of the divorce and kids overrides the standing order that says the kids can't be removed from their current county which is with me in Georgia. So my question is does Florida winning jurisdiction override the standing order issued by Florida or is it simply just stating Florida won jurisdiction, and what overrides a standing order?
A: It is unclear what "Florida winning jurisdiction" means. Did the Florida court so rule, did the Georgia court so rule, or did both? To find out whether the children can be moved from their present location in Georgia, one would need to review the order or orders pertaining to "Florida winning jurisdiction" and, if they are unclear, ask the court(s) for clarification.
