if you relocate more than 50 miles you need court permission.
Even if the court were to award 50/50 timesharing, there is no guarantee that there would not still be a child support obligation depending on the net incomes of each party. The child support guidelines also take into account any childcare or health insurance expenses for the child, in addition to who is paying for it.
As for the relocation issue, if you wish to move more than 50 miles from your current residence, you need to the permission of the father or an Order from the court under Florida's parental relocation statue, Chapter 61.13001.
