You need to promptly pursue a Petition For Modification of Child Custody, and Child Support. Through the "discovery" process, you should be able to get his medical and prescription records.

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.

Depending upon the parties' comparative financial resources, the Court has discretion to hold one party responsible for the other's attorney fees and costs.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
