Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Child Custody
I was awarded primary residential parentship when my son was 1.5 yrs old. He is 8 now, and his mother is getting married and moving out of state, she wished to be relieved of seconday parent under the court order, she wishes to give up all her rights. Now we have a court order, how can i go about voiding the court order and getting a new one? Is a notarized agreement good enough, or is there a different process in the state of Florida? any help is greatly appreciated...

A notarized agreement might set forth right between the two of you but it will not change a court order. Only a new court order can modify an existing one.
I suggest you consult with an attorney who can review the facts and help you reopen your case and get the modification of the Final Judgment that you seek.

The other parent would need to terminate their parental rights. If you need assitance contact a Florida Family Law attorney.
