Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I had filed several Motions of Contempt against my ex husband in January due to he did not comply and let me have our children during the holidays. Holiday visitation clearly stated in our divorce papers.

In April, as an act of good faith, and thinking we could work everything out ourselves, I dropped those motions. (And he had hired an attorney and I was very intimidated by this) Ever since that day, there has been no comprimise on his part. He makes it difficult for me to see our children, makes me drive the 46 mile trip if I want to see them. (this is a 92 mile round trip that I drive at least 3 days a week)

My question is, is it adviseable to re-fils these papers with the courts?

Not knowing what papers were filed and what you agreed to I can only speculate for an answer. I suggest you file a Petition to MOdifiy the visitation, set a hearing date, serve him and appear with your facts in hand. One of the facts will be pick up and drop off times and where - I suggest you meet half way on the mileage. IF not the judge will suggest it. Secondly, you need to have your visitation dates specified. When you will get them and when you will return them. Lastly, if they are of school age you want it spelled out that you have permission to visit the school with them and attend parent lunch days and pta meetings and activities and be informed of all of this by the school.
