Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Can I leave the state with my 3 year old child to flee from an abusive husband? There is an active restraining order currently in place against him.

Yes, unless there is a Court Order stating otherwise. If he has visitation per the domestic violence Injunction, he might assert that your relocating out-of-State frustrates the intention of the Order.
If the marriage is over, pursue a divorce.
Confer with an experienced family law attorney.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
Call me to discuss the specifics of your case. I will give you a realistic idea as to the likely cost (fees and expenses). Then if you want, we can schedule a no-obligation office consultation.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.
