How did you get Florida to make orders regarding your child when you hadn't been there long enough to establish residency? (six months)
I think that you are going to need to consult with attorneys in both FL and VA. If you had been in FL six months I would normally say that FL would have jurisdiction over the child....particularly since FL has made orders regarding the child. However the fact that you hadn't been there long enough to establish legal residency, before he filed for divorce, could complicate things.
