Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

If a remarried parent had gone to court in Florida and given permission to move her son out of State because she recently was married to a man who is currently serving in the Army (and stationed in Afginistan) then father, after a couple of years, went back to court and the Florida court decided to give custody of the son to him (the judge stated his decision was based on the his belief that the boy would have a less stable life because the mother was married to a man in the military), does she have any chance of a Georgia court over-ruling the decision made in Florida, or the right to put a hold on the decision?

You need to take the paperwork to a family law attorney. If the father was given custody and resided in Georgia and the child is now living with the father in Georgia, the mother would have to file a new action in Georgia. I do not understand why you are posting such a complicated and serious question on a website. Take your Florida order to a family law attorney who can give you the advice you need. If you had an attorney in Florida, which hopefully you did, ask your Florida attorney.
