Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My daughter is incarcerated in Bay County Jail Florida, a motion was filed and approved by the Court to allow her to be on a conference call in the courtroom to represent herself, in a temporary custody hearing. Can the Court proceed without my daughter being able to represent herself due to phone system problems, all the Court said during the hearing was my daughter opposed it. Her estranged husband was granted temporary custody of my daughter's child, instead of being made the guardian of her, which is what my daughter initially wanted, he is not the biological father of my daughter's child. Now he is laying down rules such as she can only talk to her daughter on Saturdays etc.

She is not going to get much courtesy if she is in jail.
Since your daughter is in jail, she needs to have a regional counsel appointed for her to represent her on this matter. She can ask for a re-hearing or can have the issue of custody removed. If she is not married to this man and he is not on the birth certificate you would have a better chance to have the custody reversed to the grandmother. there is too much info not stated here to give you a better answer.
