My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida
My wife left me back in May and left the kids with me, she has called and visited them about once a month till the end of November. Since November 26th she has not attempted to contact our kids at all... Now I am originally from Maryland and that is where my family is located and down here in Florida I have no support for me or my kids, I cant go to work without my kids crying and asking me not to go cause they think Im going to leave them like their mother. Now we have never been to court for the divorce and nothing is on paper stating anything about custody, do I have to go to court and ask them for permission to move me and my kids back to my home town where they will have emotional support besides me or can I just move? I have no address or phone number to contact my wife to ask her for permission. So my question is will i get in any legal trouble if I take my kids back up to Maryland and if I dont need the courts approval can i file for divorce in Maryland?
