Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex boyfriend who was granted in locos parentis( even though he was never on birth certificate, lived together less than a year and is not his father nor was ever his role as we were never married) and visitation is now every other week for one eight hour day. This was established in Pennsylvania but now we have moved to Florida. My ex is now threatening to take me back to court even though we were just in court and judge left visitation as it was even though I moved. I have been told that since he has no legal custody and doesn't pay any support and now that I am now a Florida resident technically I could deny his visitation here and would not have to go back to court in Pennsylvania even if he did til there because I am no longer in that jurisdiction..... Is this true? I have spent well over 15000 fighting this for the last year and a half. I'm desperate and feeling so betrayed by the courts. Thank you for any information.

If you and the child live in FL then you need to file a petition to transfer the case to FL.
Once the child has lived in FL for 6 months jurisdiction will be with the court in Florida so your ex will be able to file any petitions or motions in FL.
