Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Family Law and Visitation
Jurisdiction was set in Florida. My ex moved out of state with our kids with our written signed agreement with regards to visitation, etc. Ex has not stuck with his part of the deal. I now live in Illinois, he lives in Oregon. He is refusing to allow the kids to speak with me unless I call. He won't allow them to call. My son has wanted to live with me and my husband for awhile. He is 14. Is he old enough to express his interests to a judge? Do I have to change jurisdiction to Illinois to enforce visitation and possibly go for custody? Can I do that myself without an attorney? What forms do I need to use? Please help!!

Re: Family Law and Visitation
If the children have lived in Oregon for 6 months or more that's where jurisdiction lies. You will have to go there to enforce your rights. Otherwise, jurisdiction is a mess since no one lives in Florida anymore. It's probably Oregon. You'll have to find a lawyer there.
