Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I was served with a petition from my former wife to be awarded sole parental responsibility for our 10 year old daughter. We have shared parental responsibility for her since 2003 when we divorced. My former wife is claiming a "lack of communication" as the reason for her to be awarded sole custody. I have proof of tons of emails and phone calls to prove that I communicate with her and make an effort to be involved in our daughters life. Can my rights be taken away bc of her false claims? I get our daughter every other weekend, except when she is sick. She is making me look bad bc I cant get my daughter when she is sick bc I have a son with special needs who can not be exposed to illness, or he becomes severely ill. He has had to be hospitalized 3 times in the past year for respiratory distress resulting from the common cold. Will a judge understand this? What does she have to prove in order for my rights to be taken away? I'm a good dad and I try to do whats best for both of my kids. I have filed a response, but cant afford an attorney.Will I be able to do this on my own?

you can do this on your own. appear for the hearing - bring any witnesses with you and have them sit in the outer office until the Judge oks for you to bring them in. Also have your emails printed out. Bring the hospital forms for your son and whatever papers to show he is a special needs child. She will look like really bad in the eyes of the judge. Good luck.
