A: There is no legal impediment stopping you from doing so. If his mother opposes the plan, her only option would be to bring you to court by the filing of a lawsuit against you. I wouldn't hold my breath.
A:
The Mother is the legal guardian of the child if you and she were never married. Therefore, I would not remove the child from Florida without getting a court order of paternity allowing you to take the child with you.
Good luck.
