The kid lives in PA so you have to file in that state. You have no case in FL. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.

The best interests of the child dictates. Unless there was PA court order, you could have brought him with you and started a custody proceeding in Fla. Now you must go to PA.

Were you even married to the bio dad. If not, go get your child.
