Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Custody Rights
I am a single mother of a 17 month
old baby girl. I recently left my ex
boyfriend due to domestic violence
in the home. I have been giving my
ex his role as a father but he is just
taking things too far because if
things dont go according to his way,
I will never hear the end of it. If we
argue, which is only a weekly basis
or more, he treatens me about
taking me to court and taking our
daughter away from me.
Well I work full time and have been
taking my daughter to every doc
appts and caring for her since the
day she was born. so lately Ive also
noticed that when shes with me,
she gains weigh and when she
comes back from staying over his
house, she seems to have lost a 1-
2lbs. When I confront him on this
matter, he turns everything on me
about feeding her bad things(which
I dont) and tells me how im crazy
for thinking it. I need help in taking
the right steps in taking this to
court and what my rights are as a
mother to keep my child. Thanks in
advance.

Re: Custody Rights
A paternity suit is always a good idea, since you can establish child support and visitation in writing, rather than just leaving it to a vague arrangement between the two of you.
But if you want to stop his visitation, you'll have to have a doctor testify that this weight loss is abnormal and have the doctor's records to show that the weight loss/weight gain is actually occurring.
