Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have custody of my children, my wife has not been in there life for a few years. She does have visitation every other weekend but has never asked or set up time to get them. Now she has asked for them but i do not know where she lives, but do know she rents a room, so that means that the 3 children will be sharing a bed with her. I don't want to be held in contempt for not letting her see the kids but she by no means has the space to have them for a weekend and I am not comfortable with them all sleeping in the same bed in a room and not knowing where they will be. Do i have any grounds not to let them go? I have not seen the place, she can not drive, and she has no job, she is also not on the lease of this place what can i do?!

File an Emergency Motion with the Court, explain all issues.
I believe I would ask her to meet the children at the Family Center for visitation. It is $75.00 an hour and arrangements must be made in advance. I don't believe I would just hand the children over. She must have an address so that the children will not be taken out of the state or county without your knowledge. I agree with Mr. McCall as to an emergency Motion to have the court establish some guidelines on this matter.
