No. She needed court permission to relocate. The court will look to the best interests of the child.
No, it is not legal and you should file a petition requiring her to return the child to this jurisdiction. For assistance, contact my office at 904-576-2581 or email me at [email protected].
Without knowing if you were married to the mother or if you filed a petition for paternity - its tough to say definitively what your rights are. However, regardless of the legality at the present time, there are certainly steps you can take to attempt to have the child returned to Florida. Timing will be very important and I suggest you act quickly.
