Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Divorced as of January 4 2010 and our mediation agreement is filed with the courts. My ex can not seem to follow the agreement we agreed to and is constantly wanting me to change things. I was told that I have to be flexible with him. I offer him things and they are never good enough for him. I am to the point where I just want to tell him that he needs to follow the agreement. He calls out of the blue asking to stop by and if he can see her for 10 minutes and gets mad at me for telling him no. It is like there is no cut off with him. He just wants our daughter when it is convenient for him and that is it. or just to stop by and look at her for 5 mins. I guess my question is, am I allowed to tell him NO and stick with the agreement since nothing I do or offer is not good enough for him. It would be different if it was every once in a while but every week there is always something and we have to switch everything around.

If the two of you agreed on a parenting plan of visitation and it was approved by the court, then I suggest you follow the agreement. If he wants to change things, let him file a modification of visitation. Yes,you can tell him no and tell him to follow the agreement. If you don't, you will be jumping in and out of hoops for a long time to come. From what you say, sounds to me he checking on you and not the child.
