Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex-husband was convicted of a crime in PA, theft and felony intimidation of witnesses. Before he was arrested and charged we had moved to FL. He went to jail in PA for nearly 4 years. I filed for divorce before he was released on parole. He in on parole until 2013. I was granted the divorce. He now wants visitation with our two children 6 & 8. Along with being a criminal, I also believe him to be unstable and know him to be a pervert, (he acted inappropriately toward my eldest daughter, not his.) He is not allowed in the state of FL by order of PA. I am desperate to keep my small children away from this creep. Do I have any options?

You'll have to prove all this, of course, but you should file a motion for sole custody (where you control the visitation) or supervised visitation (where he can't see the kids alone). It's easy to prove the criminal charges, jail time, and parole, but you'll also have to prove that he's unstable and a pervert. You'll need a family law attorney to help you.
