Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex-husband relocted to Orlando Florida. We have a 50/50 parenting plan in place. He just left, now he wants the kids for Thanksgiving, but have not given me his new address, what rights do I have as far as letting them go. Is the parenting plan Null and Void since he relocated without notice and stop doing his part of the parenting plan?

The parenting plan isn't null and void, but obviously parts of it are no longer applicable, such as the part about 50/50 custody (though you didn't actually say how far Orlando is from you, but I'm assuming it's pretty far). At the very least, you should not allow the kids to go someplace where you don't have an address. You should immediately get a family law attorney to assist you in filing a motion to modify your parenting plan. His move is a substantial change in circumstances that requires a change.

Mr. Rose is correct in his assessment of your situation. Now that he has left the area you will need to modify the parenting plan to cover expenses as to travel for the children, and the extension of time to be with the ex. Child custody should be modified and child support incorporated.
