Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I am going through a divorce and just three weeks ago me and my ex went to mediation. I gave him the majority of time with our son because that is what he wanted. Now a week ago he emailed me saying that him and his girlfriend are breaking up and that he was packing up my sons stuff and was bringing him over that now he has to live with me. So he did, he dropped him off with all his stuff. Now this week he is saying that him and his girl are working things out and that he wants me to pack our sons stuff up and drop him off to him. I told him that I dont want to because what is gonna happen the next time they get in a fight. I dont want to have my son keep on having to move. Its not good for him, hes only seven years old. The reason I gave my ex the majority was because he was out of my sons life for three years by his choice and I felt like he really wanted to make it up to him. Also when my son came over his father gave him his old phone to play with, well I looked all through the text messages that him and his girlfriend done back and forth from eachother and they are talking about doning coke and going to look t some that one of their friends had that looked and tase good and how much he was selling it for. Also they were talking about taking extacy. Can I bring this up in court and also am I gonna get in trouble by keeping him from going over to his house to live with him?

Normally settlement agreements can't be broken, but it sounds like you have strong grounds. Speak to a family law attorney immediately, but if you were my client, I'd be advising you not to allow your son to go back.
