Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I live with my child's (1 yr old) father due to fear of him taking my son. He is telling me by law I cannot take our baby and go visit my mother 125 miles away for any reason w/o his permission, which he will not give. Can he do this? There is no custody arrangement of any kind and we are not married.

tHAT IS INCORRECT. yOU ARE THE NATURAL GUARDIAN OF THE CHILD UNTIL HE ENFORCES HIS RIGHTS. CONTACT MY OFFICE FOR FREE CONSULTATION.

Unless he files a paternity suit to establish his rights as a father,he has NONE! This sounds like a control type person. Take your son and have a nice visit. Maybe even stay. If I can be of assistance please contact my office for an appointment.
