Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Letter to the judge

My question is very simple. My son is going through a divorce, but he lives in Mass. His wife and children reside in Florida. They are having a non-jury trial the end of August for custody of the children along with the finalizaion of this divorse. I don't know the legalitys but can I take the stand in my sons behalf,and or can I write a letter to the judge? I don't want it to seem as though I am trying to do something elegal. Could you please answer as soon as possible. Thank you.

I assume your son has an attorney in Florida. Of course you and your son can take the stand if you want to and you have something relevant to say.

A letter to the judge will not be admitted into evidence. However, you absolutely may testify at trial if it will benefit your son's case.

A letter is useless exercise. If you believe that you have something to say, clear it with your son and his lawyer, and go down & testify. At the very least, fly down & give your son moral support.
