Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
response to form 12.905
How do I file a response to a
Supplemental Petition to modify
parenting plan? I disagree with what
the petition is requesting and would
rather keep the parenting plan the
way it is.

Hire a lawyer. Don't mess with custody or timeshare on your own. You could severely wreck the kids' lives.
For example, if your ex has filed on his or her own, he or she may have forgetten the words "substantial change in circumstances," which makes the petition invalid. If you just file an answer, you might miss that little technicality--or one of many others--and lose defenses, possibly costing you custody or time with the kids.
