Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My daughter has lived with her mother for 15 years. She has been living with me for over a year now due to being molested by her stepdad that the mother is still living with. Her mother has givin me a notarized paper stating temporary custody. I have to move out of state due to a better job offer. Can I legally take my daughter with me without problems?

No. You need court permission to legally relocate.
There are statutory requirements for relocating more than 50 miles.
Assuming your ex fully cooperates, this should be a relatively inexpensive matter for an attorney to handle for you.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation.
