Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

I live in Oklahoma and my son who is 16 years old lives in Florida with his aunt. The father lives in Chicago. I wan to know if I go to Florida to get my son will I break any laws? My son has lived with his father for almost all of his life and recently; his father and I agreed to let our son come live with me. But his father changed his mind after I got the plane ticket and school information for him. We have never had any court documents for sole custody nor had I ever been on child support. I am desperate for help and need to know before I make any moves to get my son.

Is there a Divorce Decree or a Paternity Order that gives the father custody of the child?

Generally speaking parents are permitted to have custody of their child over other family members.
