Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I recently went into court on Motion for Enforcement/contempt on a mediated time sharing and custody agreement and just received the General Magistrate's findings and recommendations report. I was advised by one of the bailiff's and by the Magistrate herself to file a Modification asking the court to provide relief/adjust the current order. Currently, there is allowances for my ex to have my son for two months in the summer and, as I cannot say with any certainty that my son is safe (based on past experiences), I would like to suspend all visitation until the Modification goes through the courts. Is there a particular form I should file for ask for this "immediate" relief? Additionally, I was wondering if there are any FL based Women/Mother Legal Resources that could possibly provide representation on a discounted/pro bono basis? I am a single mom, going to school with a part time job - trying to deal with a man who won't pay child support or communicate with me...any and all help would be appreciated with the deepest sincerity!

If you just refuse visitation there are consequences, like losing custody. Until the order is modified it is not modified.
Contact your county Legal Aid office for assistance. You must file a Petition to Modify then file an Emergency Motion concerning the visitation.
