Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
The court has drawn up a temporary visitation plan for our daughter. she is 14 months old. They have given my husband 3 overnight visits with lily, every other night through the week. He had deserted me and my daughter throughout my entire pregnancy and after our daughter was born. He does not work. He has been issued to pay child support of $300.00 monthly. Is this standard guidlines for such a young baby?

Why is he unemployed? If he quit his job, or was fired for cause, then his prior income should be imputed to him, and used in calculating his monthly child support obligation. However, it will be your burden to prove that imputation would be appropriate.
There is no such thing as "standard" visitation. Rotating custody might be appropriate if the child is adjusting well, and if both parties reside near by.
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.
