Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Want to move out of state
My son's biological father and I were never married, but while I was pregnant we split up. When my son was 3 months old I had a child support/custody order put into place. He waived his right to paternity testing. We have joint legal custody, but I have physical custody. My son's father hasn't seen him since he was 10mo. old. I have since married and tried to modify the order so that I would have sole legal custody. This was unsuccessful. My husband and I have an interest in moving to FL. My son's father claims he will sign any paperwork necessary for us to move, as he understands it's too expensive to live in this area. With my son's father in full support of the move (his mother lives there and he, too, is considering a move there) what should I do to get closer to this goal? Is paperwork outside of court ok? I have limited funds but will almost do anything to be able to move. Do the courts allow me to move out of state even with permission from my son's father? Do I need to get a lawyer? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

You will need a signed and notarized agreement for you to relocate. In the alternative, you will need a court order.
