Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Custody of 16 yr old ,child support
I have son in my care per the divorce agreement.I moved out of state also per MSA.My son is visiting
dad per MSA. In the MSA it says that it doesn't matter how long son visits dad child support is still to be
paid to me(the Mother).Ex is trying
to get son to stay with him now.Since I moved out of state and
have primary care does he have to come to my state to change anything?If MSA says no matter how long he stays the child support stays ,how will that work?

Generally speaking, if you want to change an MSA as it relates to the child, you do it in the state where the child has lived for the last six months, but there are many exceptions to the rule. Your MSA, for example, may say that all future proceedings must occur in Florida.

It depends on how long you have lived out of state. An action needs to be filed to get you son back with you. I can help. You may contact my office.
