You will need to file a Supplemental petition to permit relocation with minor children in the court that issued the joint custody decree, or any other appropriate court depending on the jurisdictional issues. See link to the form petition: http://www.flcourts.org/core/fileparse.php/533/urlt/950d.pdf
Below is also a link to the forms website. http://www.flcourts.org/resources-and-services/court-improvement/problem-solving-courts/family-courts/family-law-forms.stml#950
Also, see below FL statute that the judges use to guide their decision regarding relocation.
