Re: Filing

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You will need to reopen the case and file a motion to amend the final judgment or a petition to modify custody. All Florida Supreme Court approved forms may be found here:

Pay special attention to Form 12.905. You would be well advised to retain counsel to prepare the motion and to represent you in this matter.

Re: Filing

The court has a self help department that has the forms.
