Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am going through a custody and child support battle. I am a loving mother and I did nothing wrong. I'm not on the streets or do drugs. I had a very bad relationship with my ex husband. So after 9 years I decided to move from Florida to Georgia. I asked my ex to watch our son so I could get on my feet and we could work out an agreement after. He decided to go get a lawyer and is going at me full force for child support and pretty much no visitation. I cannot afford a lawyer. I make $10 an hour 40 hours a week. With taxes taken out my checks areonly $563 every 2 weeks. The magistrates recommendations are $551 a month. How am I suppose to pay my car payment, rent, and eat? I want my child and it seems like everyone is against me. I tried legal aide they say I make to much. I am so scared and have no idea what to do next. How can I get them to lower my payments so I can survive?

You can fax the child support document (child support guidelines worksheet) and the magistrate's recommendation to me - 866-220-8314 or scan and email to [email protected] I will offer a free review and advise you on how you can proceed pro se.

You may be able to get a rehearing or a "set aside" of the finding.
