Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Relocation Granted but Can I go ????
This is a follow up to a question I posted previously--name removed--My hearing was today with the general magistrate regarding relocation. Former husband did not show--name removed--he hasn't paid child support so I am guessing his no show is related to that.) The hearing was with a genaral magistrate who said the order would be granted--name removed-- My move is planned for this week--name removed--I am tenative to leave without the court order in hand. The general magistrate said it would take a few days for the judge to review his recommendation and sign it--name removed--He advised me there is a chance the judge would not take his recommendation. He said I could leave but may have to move back--name removed--My divorce papers say I can leave in May without court or former husband permission--name removed--I am hesitant to leave without the order but soo anxious to get my life started again--name removed-- Can I leave--name removed-- If a hearing would be scheduled and we have left, can they force the children to return with me? Or would I have to return for a hearing before that is decided--name removed--I do not want to do anything wrong--name removed--Please help.

Re: Relocation Granted but Can I go ????
The short answer is yes, unless something happened at the hearing that gave you pause. Since there was no objection to the report, it was sent to the judge post-haste. My thought would be to contact the Clerk's Office within the week and see if the Clerk has the signed order.
I can't think of any reason the judge wouldn't sign the report, but then that's why they are judges, to do what they deem fit.
However, To be on the safe side, you probably want the order in hand and I would do just that. Get it from the Clerk's Office-call, they will tell you if it done.
