Child Custody

[obewand]

My ex-wife and I were married and divorced in NC. We have a child support order issued in NC as well. With a 2 day notice she moved with my son to FL several years ago. I've had my son for 2 summer vacations and a few days here and there since. He is now 16 yrs old and has expressed to me and other family members of his desire to move back to NC to live with me, which I would love. His mother has told him several times that he cannot do that. Does the state of FL have any laws that would allow him to do that or are there any steps I can take to either help him or start the process myself? Additionally what rights do I have concerning how he is raised, visitation as well as an order outlining my wishes barring her from allowing her abusive boyfriend from disciplining him (spanking/whipping). Thank you for your time.

The State of North Carolina should still have jurisdiction over the case. Almost every state has passed their own version of a statute called the UCCJEA. In that statute jurisdiction remains in the original court if either parent and/or the child still lives there.

You should speak to a NC attorney.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review and answer my question. If I'm unable to retain an NC attorney for this case and feel that my best chances are in the state of FL, you will be the first person I call. I really appreciate this service, God Bless You.
