If there has been no court case regarding custody or time-sharing then she can relocate out of state. This does not mean that the father of the child will not or would not be able to pursue time-sharing in Florida as Florida would be the court of proper jurisdiction at this time.

If there is court order, she can relocate. However, does she a proposed Substitute Time- Sharing Schedule for the Father? The courts will look at her willingness to facilitate and encourage contact with him per the 61.13 factors and the 61.13001 relo factors. Hope this helps. Chris Ragano, Esq.
