Q: any worried?
my wife and I moved from texas to Florida for a job relocation. her son, my step son, has a father that is now being difficult after the fact. she has a standard order of possession from the attorney general office of tx without any geographical restrictions. and also does not state anything about travel expenses. And now hes being difficult. any advice?
A: Since you and you wife have moved to Florida with her underage son the courts of Florida are now able to assert jurisdiction over all issues involving the son--including adopting the Texas order you referred to. It might be helpful for you to consult a family law lawyer in the Orland area to advise you on how to get Florida's protection too.
A: It will all depend on how long the minor child has been living in the state of Florida. The Courts will only have jurisdiction to make decisions regarding the minor child if he has been living in the state of Florida for 6 months or months or more.
