Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If the marriage is over, then it is over. In that case, file for divorce. If you pursue divorce, do so in Florida, and seek the Court's permission to relocate.

If you leave, he might run to the Court house, and claim that you fled to deprive him of his children. If the Court beleive's him, they might Order you to return the kids. In any case, I would suggest getting something in writing from him saying he is ok with you taking the kids. That probably will not meet the statutory requirements, but it might stop him from running to the Courthouse.

This is not a criminal matter.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
