Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
modification of final judgement of dissolution of marriage w/minor children
I recently had a hearing in Seminole County courts in Florida because my ex husband is seeking full custody of our 4 year twin boys. Our last hearing was for temp custody and the courts granted it to my ex husband by the general magistrate. She felt that I needed more time to get myself together due to the fact in the last year, I had the father keep the children twice and that I just moved into my own place in Maryland on November 1, 2007(but moved to MD in August�2007�) and just started getting my own income in February of 2008. the courts will be appointing a custody investigator to review the status of the custody and support. how do i handle the custdy investigator becasue i don't know what that is all about nor how important it is?

A custody evaluator will decide with which of the two of you the children should primarily reside. You shouldn't go through this without a lawyer. A lawyer can explain to you how the process works, how you should handle it, and how you can best maximize your chances.
