Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Just need to know what I need to do next.
I seperated from my childrens father on the 1st of the year, after almost an 8 year relationship (no marriage). I am currently living with family and trying to get back on my feet. The childrens father has turned into a drug addict and has become violent in front of the children at times. He says he has an attorney now and would like to see the kids whenever he wants. I am afraid he will take them and not bring them back just for spite. Legal aid cannot help and I don't have the money for an attorney, so I need to know what steps I can take, myself, to protect my children and myself. I've never had to do this before and don't know much about it. I've never even been in a courtroom before.

If there has ever been any violence you may want to have an injunction issued against him. Clerk personnel at the courthouse are suppose to help you. Try there.
