Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Relocation to another state

I am relocating to the state of Florida. I have sole,legal and physical custody of my child after a lengthy 4 year battle with my ex. He is a proven liar and I have information and so does the court that he has done things in the past, and maybe current that are illegal. however we were in family court not criminal court. He has told me that he will fight for joint custody and make it difficult for me for the next 18 years. I have exhasuted all my money and if I move to florida, i will be broke from legal finances. He has remarried and his wife makes a good salary, he does not work and cannot hold down a job and i beleive he is living off of her. His motive will be that now he has a fmily, a house etc..he should have joint. His wife is in the dark on his past and he will not change,he uses people. We do not and will never get along so joint is out of the question. I am looking afer the best interest of our child, not him. He has a schedule visitation, which he comes frequently. Our 5 years has said frequesntly that she does not want to go with him. what are the chances of the judge in florida changing the custody order? And are their free legal services if he takes me back to court. I would need assistance

Re: Relocation to another state

It makes no sense to worry about a case that does not exist. You make things worse by focusing on it, so do not even consider the possibility unless you are served papers. People say many things they won't do; people who are doing them usually don't warn you first.

The only preparation you can and should make is to be a good parent, and do set money aside for emergencies (of which only one would be legal) as many things may need extra money as you raise a child.

But, again, don't worry about a non-existent case.
