If you filed your case in Florida, Florida has jurisdiction. Once you establish via a court order residency in another state, then you can ask to have the case domesticated in the state you then reside in.

Floeida looks at which state has had the most recent residency of the children for 181 days. Missouri and Jersey may have a different rule.
