If you are moving from New York to Florida, look at the order to determine the father's status. Does he have joint custody?

Are you required to provide notice?

If you pick up and move without giving the father written notice, he can take you to court in New York to force you to return the children. In addition, he can file to change custody and/or visitation.

Therefore, it is in your best interest to take the order to an attorney for review and provide the father with notice, if needed.
