If the parties are not married and no court order as to custody then she is free to leave. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.
Is this man married to the mom? If not, he would have to file a paternity case action to establish that he is the father, then he would need to file visitation plan and then if she decided to move then he could file a motion to stop the relocation. I suggest you contact a family law attorney and discuss the matter to see what applies for bio dad/married dad.
