Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

First, states have certain laws about how long you live there before you can file divorce. In Florida, for example, you have to live here for six months before you can file divorce. And you have to prove you've lived here by showing an issue date on a Florida driver's license or voter ID usually. Some states have even longer residency periods, like a year or two. So you can't just run to another state and file divorce. Second, Florida has laws against permanently relocating children to another state without the other parent's permission or a court order. Their plans aren't going to work.

Assuming the home state is FL, you cannot relocate without a court order. Federal Law determines which state has jurisdiction over the case.
