Father is in Pennsylvania and is domestic violence, criminal and addict but request to not allow custodial mother to move to Florda from Maryland was granted. What can the legal reprocutions be? What can be done to avoid these after move occurs?

If the court has issued an order denying the move, then to move would put the mother in contempt of court. The court could issue a warrant for her arrest and take the child and place it with the father or in foster care.

When could the warrant be issued? A move from Maryland to Florida they would pay for the police to come and retrieve my daughter?

A warrant could be issued as soon as the father goes to court to report the move and request it. Whether the PA courts would pay the costs is unknown but they wouldn't have to. They issue the warrant and the father could go to Florida show the warrant to the police there who would have you arrested and turn the child over to the father. Whether PA decides to extradite is a another question.

Our case is in Maryland. He lives in PA. He has an active warrant in Florida. Maryland only extradites in surrounding states. So it would be the father's responsbilty to pay for and execute police action or the judge's who made the order? The judge threatened that if I go she "has seen it happen before" for the cops to come down and retrieve a child and to "not test her"...

Ok, if you try moving with the child and it is against a court order then he could call the police and they can issue a amber alert for kidnapping. If you have crossed state lines then it is a federal offence. You will go to prison and your child will be raised by someone else. Don't play games with the system as it bites back.

All due respect how could it be kidnapping if I have full sole legal custody? We were never married and he just now got supervised visitation 6 years into her life.

It comes down to your direct violation of a court order. That's how it changes over into kidnapping. It would be a willful act as you have already been told by a judge not to move.

Here's the thing. You were issued an order by a court not to move. If you defy that order, he goes to court and tells the court that you disappeared. The court then revokes your custody and issues a warrant for your arrest. An Amber Alert is then issued. The Feds then get involved. You are found and then arrested.

My advice to you is to get an attorney (I suspect you did not have one (which is probably how he got visitation) and fight for the right to move.

I didn't see this before. You are seriously considering defying a judge who made such a threat? Do you really want to lose your child?
