Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I live in Florida and in 2002 my ex-father-in-law adopted my oldest son. We had a verbal agreement that he could do so as long as he would never cut me out of his life. Now at the age of 16 1/2 years old, my son is starting to have some teenage issues. He thinks this is partly my doing so he is refusing to let me have any further contact with him until he is 18. I do have a witness that was there at the time of the discussion. Can I sue him for breech of verbal agreement in the state of Florida?

If you allowed your ex-father-in -law adoption then you only have rights at his discretion. If you had put in in writing with the adoption papers that you would have some access to your son, then you would have a cause of action.
