Moving Children Internationally Consent

Summary

If you plan to move to Mexico with your children and there is no legal custody agreement in place, obtaining the fathers consent is advisable. If he does not consent, you may need to petition the Florida court for relocation. Moving without consent or a court order could be considered parental kidnapping, especially if relocating to another country. Consult a family law attorney for detailed advice.

In Florida, generally:

- If consent isn't given, you may need to petition the court.
Please consult a lawyer for accurate advice.
What is he doesnt want to give consent
If the father doesn't consent, you can petition the Florida court for relocation. The court will consider the best interests of the children. I recommend consulting a family law attorney for detailed advice.
What if i just leave can he claim i kidnapped them
In Florida, if you leave without consent or a court order, it could potentially be considered parental kidnapping. This is a serious matter. Consult a family law attorney before making any decisions.
What if its to a different country?
If you move to a different country without consent or a court order, it could potentially be considered as international parental kidnapping, which is an even more serious offense. You should definitely consult a family law attorney before making such a move.
