Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Would living w/BF affect custody?
I am separated (not legally, just physically) from my husband. We agreed on a monthly child support, which he had been paying. We both moved on and found a boyfriend/girlfriend.
My estranged husband lost his job and isn't paying the child support. If I don't get it within 2 weeks, I can't pay my rent on the 1st. Even if I borrow money, then I'd have to pay it back, and I don't have enough money left over after paying bills for an added expense.
My boyfriend has offered for me and my kids to live with him and his daughter (he has primary custody). Seeing as how this might be a necessity, could this hurt me when I file Dissolution of Marriage papers and request Shared Parental Responsibility & Primary Residential Responsibility?
I provide my kids with a good life, but how bad could it be to move in with my boyfriend out of necessity?
I cannot afford an attorney, so ANY advice is extremely appreciated.

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.
It should have little or no effect on your pending divorce providing you provide good care for your minor child. The court will look to see what is in the best interests of the minor child(ren) when determining the primary residential parent. The non residential parent will then be ordered to pay child support.
