Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have been divorced from my daughters (twins) mother since 1998. Six years ago she and the girls were living with her mother in Tennessee. It wasn't a very good environment for a lot of reasons. I moved them in with me then and continued to pay child support. She has since moved out with the girls, moved in her new boyfriend who is a convicted felon and his daughter in a two bedroom house. She has petitioned the state of Tennessee for more child support. Can I petition the state of Florida where we all live, to review my case and intervene?

As long as you and the kids have been residents of Florida for at least six (6) months, we probably can have the Florida Court assert jurisdiction.
Do you have a clean criminal history?
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation.

YOu need to have the former order domesticated in this state and then Florida can take over since you are all here.
