Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

First, is he the father? If you know he is, the paternity test isn't relevant unless he'll deny he is the father. If he denies he is the father, you can move.

Next, assuming you both agree he is the father, some judges say that, since there is no court order establishing father's rights, you can go ahead and leave. However, most judges say you have to follow the statutory procedure for relocation of children.

You should speak with a family law attorney to get assistance with following the relocation procedure.
