More details to this question:
I live in Florida and have recently separated from my husband due to his infidelity. We have 3 minor children. I have no other family in the state and I was hoping to move to NC where my family lives so I will have a network of family and friends to help me as needed. Can I leave the state and not be charged with kidnapping or custodial intererference?

You would need to file a Petition for dissolution of marriage with dependent or minor children and relocation. http://www.flcourts.org/core/fileparse.php/533/urlt/950c.pdf , http://www.flcourts.org/resources-and-services/court-improvement/problem-solving-courts/family-courts/family-law-forms.stml#950
Also, see link to FL statute that judges use to guide their decision regarding relocation http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0000-0099/0061/Sections/0061.13001.html
