Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My bf is going to court because his ex refuses to let him have his son without her present and when he does get to see his son, which is about every two to three week, he only sees him for a few hours for one day. She filed a motion for extension and the hearing was held 20 days after the response was due. She did not show for the hearing, but was granted 5 days. If she still does not file an answer and he files a motion for default will she still be able to try to request something other than what he requests and what differences will this make in the outcome of the case? How will this help him?

If she requested an extension on the Motion and was granted five days to respond, a lot will depend on what he filed. Did he file a parenting plan with visitation? If he just wants to put her in contempt that is another issue. When dealing with children you should NEVER go pro se because there are no do overs.
