Re: Relocating to another state with my children

I don't know how long you have been in Delaware. If less than 6 months, Fl may still be able to assert jurisdiction. Check with a Fl lawyer to see if you can bring a custody action in Florida. If not or you prefer Deleware the procedure is to file a petition for a custody order and motion to relocate to another state.

Is there a current custody Order?
