Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

As long as he has not filed an action in the court for visitation and/or custody/child support rights, then YES. In other words if there is nothing but his name on the birth certificate you can do so.

If paternity of the child has never been established through the courts, or if there is no existing time-sharing/visitation schedule in place, then you may move with the child without the father's consent.

I agree. If the child is born out of wedlock, as the mother of the child, you are the natural and legal guardian with full custodial rights and can move with the child unless there is a pending court action or prior court action regarding time sharing (visitation) with the child. If there is, then you would need consent from the Father or Petition the court to relocate.
