Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Hi, My childrens mother is petitioning for 50/50 custody of our children. As of right now she has weekly supervised visits due to a domestic violence case 7 months ago. She is now engaged to a man who has a long criminal history involving child neglect, and a more recent of possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia. Can this affect her chances of winning 50/50 custody? Can I bring this up in court? I also have an injunction against her in which she has violated more than once by contacting me.She was arrested Dec. 27th, 2017 for domestic violence/battery. I have tried to file police reports about her violating the no contact order, in which the police did not take seriously. It was contact via third party and unknown number on caller ID. I do have text message proof that I have not reported yet. However her fiancé continues to message me and harass me. I was granted temporary sole custody January 8th. I was recently granted child support although now she is filing for a motion to modify or dissolve the judges final judgment. Will This affect her chances of winning 50/50 custody??

Do yourself a big favor. Hire an attorney. It is never a good idea to represent yourself when children are involved. This sounds like a situation that is only going to get worse. It is obvious that the supervised visitation needs to remain in place until she can make good choices.
