Leaving Husband and Moving Out of State With Children

[Xena]

The bolded was my initial concern. Since no ORDER is in place, she has to make her decision on if she is complying with the law.

Scroll down to § 787.03 and 787.04 for FLorida on link below.

OP, have your friend go to www.flsenate.gov/STATUTES and read 787.03 it explains what kind of trouble she could get into by taking the children. It also gives info on what steps to take if she can prove that the children were in immediate danger.
It does boil down to she should NOT remove the children until after she has talked to an attorney. She should take any evidence/proof she has to the consult. The attorney will be able to tell her the best steps to take.
