Child custody issue

My wife and I live in Jacksonville, Fl and her ex-husband has taken her daughter out of state and refuses to return her. he does have primary custody, however per the divorce decree, she is to have reasonable means of visitation with her daughter every other weekend and 6 weeks during the summer months. is there something we can do to get her returned to the state? we were told that he could not remove her from the state of Florida.
