Prestonsburg, KY asked in Child Custody for Florida

Q: I am currently divorced. I am a FL resident. I filed paperwork to move my kids to WV and I did that in July.

However the move was a mistake due to issues with housing and I was offered better travel jobs in FL but my ex husband refuses to allow me to move back. The paperwork says I have to file with FL if I move 50 miles away from WV. I want to know if I can legally come back to FL. If not how much would it cost to file?

A: It looks like the idea of the present order is to give you ex-husband a chance to object if you move from your present location in West Virginia to a third place. If you move back to the same place in Florida where you were, it doesn't appear to be a problem that the order was designed to address, but, to be sure, you should file a motion to amend the order.
