YOU HAVE TO GET HIS WRITTEN CONSENT OR A COURT ORDER PRIOR TO MOVING.
You have to get his written consent on a special form (it's listed in Florida Statute 61.13001) or you have to get a judge's permission to move by filing a relocation petition. The procedure for filing a relocation lawsuit is also listed in 61.13001.
You will need to comply with the provisions of Florida's Parental Relocation Statute, Chapter 61.13001. This statute requires that you either get the permission of the other parent or the permission of the court.
This can be a time-consuming process, so you will want to meet with a family law attorney in your area as soon as possible to discuss your options.
