Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

What are my advantages when the other party is in "Default?"

I filed a Petition to Modify Custody.The Respondent was served.After over twenty(20)days Iwas granted a "Default order."I requested a hearing.In the meantime,I've also had to file a "Motion for Contempt,"because the Judge ordered the mother to obey the "Final Paternity Order,"and let me visit with our four(4) children,which she has not done.1.Should I request to "consolidate" the two hearings into one hearing.2.What advantage does a Default by the Respondent give me in the courtroom?I am acting Pro Se.

Re:advantages when the other party is in

You should probably seek the assistance of an attorney. Your problem seems to be how to enforce the Court order.
