Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
From the beginning. I filed an answer to a lawsuit for modification to time sharing/parenting plan modification and other relief filed by my former wife who does not have primary custody, I do. When I sent in my answer I also included a motion for contempt because the mother of my children who is obligated to pay child support has not on a regular basis and has not paid a single month in full in over 18 months, so I filed a motion for contempt regarding this with my answer. Her attorney filed a motion to strike and now I have a hearing regarding this matter. What will happen at this hearing? Do I need counsel or can I represent the information myself?

The is no requirement to retain legal counsel. However, if you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

You can represent yourself however if she has a lawyer then for sure you should get one. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.
I believe you were advised to hire an attorney for this matter. As stated, there are no do overs and it would appear that you have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. I suggest you obtain an attorney and have your attorney file for an amended contempt/enforcement and reset the hearing.
