Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have been going through a divorce for the last year now. We had a mediation agreement that states that we have 50/50 shared custody of our two boys. I live in Orlando and she used to live in Orlando but relocated after the mediation agreement. I wanted to know if there were laws that governed how far away we could reside from eachother because of the fact that we agreed to 50/50 sharing. Can you please help me out with this or point me in the right direction? She has an attorney but I cannot afford one and I am the petitioner. I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much.

This is assuming that your former wife has primary custody. The court will determine whether your former wife has a good reason to leave the state; such as, family connection with another state, new employment that is significant, will there be any hardship on the children, and most importantly, is this is the best interest of the children. This is just some considerations that the court may examine but this is not an exhaustive list. Good luck.
