You’re confused as I was after reading that article you linked. The end of the article mentions a separate case.
Somewhat related to case workers. My son left a state where he got a dcf case closed and surviving is a separation order where he is granted custody of his 4 children. The mother has supervised only visitation. Now in Florida he is told the separation document has to be ‘domesticated’ or else it carries no weight. Now case was closed with dcf in the original state. He is now being told that dcf in Florida can open a case just because of the domestication (re-recording) action. Can anybody chip in here? Will he be faced with dcf in every state he might move to now? fyi: dcf was party to the separation decree in the original state.
