Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex fianc� cheated on me and left me for another woman when I was 7 weeks pregnant. I moved to Pennsylvania for him from Florida and now that we aren't together I want to go back to Florida to have the help of my family. He is threatening me saying he is getting a lawyer so a judge will make me move back to Pennsylvania after baby is born. I am planning on having baby in Florida. Can he make me move back ? Can he get 50% custody of baby if I can stay in Florida and he lives in pa? Do I have to be a resident of Florida for six months prior to baby being born there in order to establish jurisdiction ? Can he file in pa if I am not there anymore or will he have to fight me in Florida ?
