Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Absent ex now wants custody

My divorce was finalized in Florida after 10 months of my ex-wife being pretty much a mother of convenience. She left our son with me when she got a boyfriend in January, and saw him once in a while over the last 10 months, when it was convenient. Due to financial problems, I moved to Texas to work, and let him stay with her so she would have a chance to rebuild the relationship. It has been one week and now she is suing for full custody. I am listed as the reidential parent in the divorce. Can I just bring him to Texas and sue for full custody here? Thanks

Not likely. The suit in FL likely prevents filing another suit in TX particularly since the original order was in FL.
