Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex-husband was granted 1/2 custody of our 5 year old daughter, against my wishes. He lives with his parents and they are the ones that end up caring and providing for my daughter during his time with her. Our daughter starts kindergarten this year and I have changed my work hours so that I can get her (and my son) from school as soon as it releases everyday. However on the weeks she is with her father-his parents (I'm sure) will be trying to pick her up. In our MSA it does state if one parent is unable to care for the child the other parent should have the 1st opportunity. Does this apply in this situation? I want to spend more time with my child, even if its a few hours a day and I don't feel her being with her grandparents 1/2 time is better than being with her mother, especially when she clearly wants to be with me.

Now that she has started school you need to file a Petition to Modify Visitation and Child Support.
