Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
FL established order for support, which included child support, medical insurance and percentage of uninsured medical expenes. NCP is questioning every charge and court is considering contempt.
There is a separate custody order in the childs home state which is not FL. CP has sole managing conservatorship and has the right to seek and consent to any medical care the child requires. The NCP was given no rights to make any decisions regarding the child in this order.
NCP attorney is trying to have a FL court modify the existing custody order, which they have no jurisdiction over. They are trying to set spending limits, asking CP to provide extensive medical documentation of expenses and medical need, and are even asking the child's doctor to testify.
It would seem that the custody order speaks for itself, I know most attorneys want to see the actural order before commenting, but on the surface what would you advise?

Jurisdictional issues are very complex, and it's not unusual for an order from another state to be transferred to Florida. I suggest you hire a Florida lawyer.
