Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
my 9 year old daughter is going on a cruise with my ex husband and his family. she is the youngest of all cousins going (she is 9, next cousin is 17 and goes up from there). she is rooming with her 21 cousin, not with her father and the kids are staying in a seperate area of the ship, not next to the adults. None of the cousins think my daughter should be going because she is so young. They all say they will not be babysitting her and the 21 year says she will be going out and having fun on the ship and I don't blame her. They have also told me that the adults are calling this "the Stapp Family Booze Cruise"...
Do I have to let my daughter go?

Is it happening on his timeshare? If so, how would you stop it? Here's a better idea: why don't you discuss with your ex your concerns that your daughter will be unsupervised on the cruise. If you believe he does not typically supervise her properly, you should consider a petition to have his timeshare supervised. If you have real fears that your daughter's safety on this cruise is in jeopardy, you should discuss the matter with a family lawyer. Remember, you probably don't have the authority to control his time with his daughter. Don't violate a court order and simply deny your ex his timeshare, if that's an issue. Also, consider, too, that if your concerns are unsubstantiated, you may be denying you daughter an opportunity to go on a cruise that she may really be looking forward to.
