Can I move out of Florida with my son back to (a different state)?
If you are an unwed mother and there is no order finding that the Father is the “legal father” and giving him time sharing, Florida law gives you sole guardianship of the child and sole parental responsibility. Therefore you have the authority to relocate with the child. Due to the sensitive nature of this situation, you should consult with a family attorney that can review all of the facts of your matter and give more personalized advice.
