Appeal from the Circuit Court for Collier
County; Scott H. Cupp, Judge.

Elizabeth A. Wolt, P.A., Naples, for
Appellant.

SLEET, Judge.

 Jurate Klizaite Dowell challenges the trial court's contempt order entered

against her in Mantas Knoras' action for determination of paternity of the minor child Ms.

Dowell and Mr. Knoras share. In its contempt order, the court found Ms. Dowell to be in

contempt for violating a standing order of the court by moving the minor child from

Collier County to Tampa without the court's permission. However, the unrefuted
 evidence presented below establishes that Ms. Dowell had moved her child before she

was served with the court's standing order. Accordingly, we reverse.

 When the minor child was born in 2011, Ms. Dowell and Mr. Knoras were

living together as a family. However, they separated in 2016 and, at that time, agreed

to a timesharing schedule without the aid of the courts. Ms. Dowell has never disputed

that Mr. Knoras is the father of the minor child.

 At some point, Ms. Dowell, who ran a business in Naples, began talking of

moving with the child to Tampa in order to grow her business. Shortly thereafter, Mr.

Knoras filed his petition for determination of paternity on June 26, 2018, asking the court

to enter a parenting plan and timesharing schedule. On the same day that Mr. Knoras

filed his petition, Ms. Dowell informed him that she was moving out of her apartment in

Naples, but she did not specify that she was moving out of Naples to Tampa.

 Ms. Dowell was served with the paternity petition and the trial court's

Standing Temporary Domestic Relations Order at her address in Naples on June 30,

2018. The standing order included the following directive: \Neither party will remove
