More details to this question:
My wife and I are still legally married although separated. She took the minor children and moved to Florida, I live in Georgia and I pay Child Support, even though we are still legally married. The middle son, 15 years old, wants to move back to Georgia with me, which is a mutually agreed decision between his mother and myself, We never had a formal separation nor Child Custody document.

It sounds like no court has ever entered an order specifying who gets custody and who should pay child support. In the absence of a court order, both parents are free to conduct themselves in whatever manner they choose. If a court order has been entered, then whatever changes are to be made ought to be made by court order, no matter whether the order is entered by consent or after a contested hearing.
