Your question is way too complex to answer in this forum. You need to consult with an experienced family law attorney who can then best advise you on an appropriate course of action.

The court here has jurisdiction to determine where the children live, with you or with mom. You need to get a lawyer to figure out what your chances the children would be allowed to go live with you in the other state, but that is usually an uphill battle.

Well, what you need to do before you mess everything up is have a full discussion with a family lawyer. If you leave the state with the children you will be ordered to bring them back and you will not be able to file a divorce in another state. You have to file the divorce in Florida.
