Q: How do I go about custody case if I relocated to another state and my son lives between states? My case is in FL.
My son was born in NC. His dad moved here for a yr. Didn’t like it, came to FL stayed for 5 months and I left. We came up with an agreement in regards to our son, got the document notarized so we didn’t have to go through the courts upon my departure but, he went behind my back files for custody anyway. I would like to to does FL have jurisdiction or NC? Does FL have a binding law/agreement when it comes to situations such as this one? What are my right?
A: Jurisdiction is where the child has lived for the past six months. If you have a written agreement with the other parent you can use it as evidence in any jurisdiction. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
