Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I am recently divorced. My ex asked for me to have sole custody now. He is newly remarried. He also does not pay anymore child support. I have to reaaply.
He picked up my son for dinner last night at 6:30. I asked for himto have him back by 10:00pm since it is a school night and my son gets the bus at 6:30 am. He ignored my wishes. I told him he has to abide by my tome frame. He stated that I do not have as much power as I think I have?
What are my rights? Can I ask for time frames?
Alos can I deny sleepovers if I disagree with immoral issues at his home?

You an ask for time frames concerning visitation. Also child support should have been set up as part of your final judgment if he refuses to pay support you can file a contempt motion in court to enforce the judgment.
If you have sole custody why are you letting your child visit him? Also if you agreed to the sole custody that does not waive his child support obligation as child support CAN NOT be waived.
Take him to court for contempt
Do you have a parenting plan which defines the times of visitation? Was sole custody court ordered? The two of you should probably agree to a time by which his timeshare ends, and it should be in the parenting plan. You may not have as much power as you think (unless you have been court-awarded sole custody), but I agree with you that 10 p.m. is late enough on a school night. Without sole custody, you can't deny sleepovers if it's in your parenting plan, court order, or settlement agreement.
