    Divorce and leaving the state with kids
    I am a single mother of 2 boys. We currently reside in Florida and their father resides in Pennsylvania. He has rarely been in their lives and I've done everything alone for a long time. He currently still owes back child support. I recently filed for a divorce in the state of Florida and I am now being told that I can not leave the state. I am trying to move to Pennsylvania which is closer to the father of my boys but the court is still not allowing me to leave without a written agreement between both of us stating we both agree on the move. He does not want to sign the agreement for his kids to be closer to him unless I drop the back child support. Basically I need to know if anyone knows what would happen if I break the agreement to the affidavit signed stating that I can not leave the state? Also need to know if I drop the divorce process can I open it after a period living in Pennsylvania... through Pennsylvania. Please help

    If you move you are in contempt of Court. For starters you could lose custody. Maybe their father would get custody, maybe not.

    It's never a good idea to disobey the Court. You will seriously cripple your own case.

    If you "drop" the divorce by not pursuing it your husband could get a default divorce on HIS terms, with no input from you.
