Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am currently in the midst of a divorce. My soon to be ex wife continues to file amendments to the already agreed upon terms of our divorce. The most recent is to amend how our dependents are claimed. The agreement is such that we alternate years claiming the two oldest of our three children. On the years one claims the oldest two, the other parent claims the youngest one. She has primary residence for the children; the children reside with me two evenings per week until approximately 7-8 p.m. and overnight every other weekend. I pay a substantial amount of child support on a monthly basis. My questions are how long can she prolong this process until she can not file any additional amendments and can she claim all of the children? Thank you.

IF you are paying the child support, then you should be getting the tax deduction. The hearing for the divorce can be held anytime. I suggest you set a time for the hearing. Insofar as her filing amendments, she can continue to do so and you will have to respond. Be sure these are not frivolous and if they are ask the could to have her pay your attorney fees. Sooner or later this will stop.
