To move your child more than 50 miles from his current address, she must follow a strict statutory procedure which involves, in part, getting your permission in writing or, if you won't concede, getting a judge's permission. Getting a judge's permission is very tough. If she's give you a more date in writing (like an email) or given you some other serious proof or reason to believe she really is going to move, you should contact a lawyer immediately. Call me or email me if you are in central Florida or the Tampa Bay area.
