Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

The law only forbids a custodial parent from permanently removing a child or children from the state while a divorce or other proceeding is pending (though some judges have stretched the law to include separation when no divorce is pending). It's always okay to take the kids on a temporary trip, unless a judge specifically orders otherwise.

She should be careful though and not pull the old, "Well, I went on a trip with the kids to visit my parents and then we just decided to stay here permanently." This really backfires. Judges are very inclined to order the kids back (with or without the custodial parent) when the cusodial parent tries this.
