Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Took ex to court just this past Monday for contempt of visitation. Judge told her she has to give me my visitation. Now she tells me she is going out of state for 3 weeks and then coming back for week and then moving with my son. Never brought up at court. Now what do I do. It took me over 6 months to get that court date and it has been 7 months since I have seen my son

As a general rule, Florida law doesn't permit a parent from moving a child more than 50 miles from the home of the child at the time the timesharing order is entered. If she moves without your written consent on a special form or a judge's order, you are entitled to an emergency order to have your child brought back. She is entitled to a summer vacation under your court order, I presume, but otherwise, if you don't get your timeshare, you should talk to a lawyer about contempt.
You should consult with a lawyer in your area. She is not allowed to relocate with your son with your permission more than 50 fifty miles. She needs your written consent or a court order. A lawyer should be able to help you with this issue.
She cannot just move, nor can she plan dates during your visitation time. File another motion.
