Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

The answer depends on if their is a prior court order dealing with primary residence.

There is plenty the mother can do to stop this, as presently your agreement is for "joint custody". Deviation from a court order or court adopted agreement can be grounds for contempt, etc. Also keep in mind, the court will always look at the best interests of the child in making any determination as to a proposed change.

I would suggest that you hire an attorney for the purpose of modifying your present "custody" situation/order/agreement. If the child ends up spending more time with you, by court order, it is possible that any child support you pay to the mother could be reduced or even possibly eliminated.
