Can a parent take a child out of state without the other parents consent in Florida?

During a divorce, a parent who wants to take a child out of Florida must obtain the written consent of the other parent. But, what happens if the other parent doesn't agree to the travel? In that case, the parent who wants to travel out of a state with a child can petition a family court for consent.
