Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Here is the bottom line. Unless a Court has entered an Order limiting either parents rights to the children, both parents have equal rights to the children. This does not apply to 3rd parties. If there is no such Court Order, call the police if the girlfriend does not hand over the children.

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.

You can petition the court to have the children reside with you.

Your parental rights trump the ability of his girlfriend to have the kids. Go get your kids. The police will likely help you.

What he is doing is not right however if the police will not help you then you have to petition the court asap to enforce your rights and go for full custody
