Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Spouse decides on her own to move out in a Non-Legal Separation
My wife signed a lease to another residence without consulting with me at all. She has now moved out of our home and lives there. My question is: Is she allowed to take my two children, both younger than 6 years old, to live with her without any intervention from the courts? If so, what rights do I have with regard to the children? If not, what rights does she have with regard to the children? By ''rights'' I mean who do they live with and how does visitation work? Thanks in advance.

Re: Spouse decides on her own to move out in a Non-Legal Separation
Looks like you are on your way to some court intervention. You can file for some temporary relief, or file for dissolution of the marriage. You are headed for some marriage counseling as a spouse/parent normally do not establish separate residence without some problem. You did not mention any?

If custody and visitation cannot be resolved between you by written agreement, a court proceeding would be required.
