Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

MY son is 3 diagnosed with autism. he attends a private special needs school which he attends all year through the summer. his father was in jail when he was born and only seen him a few times after that only because i made the effort to take him to see him 5 hours away. before my son turned 2 his father disappeared off the face of the earth now my son will be 4 in november and his father filed for custody back in feb. our son is on medication he has seizures and is also diagnosed with ADHD. I started his therapy when he was 2 years old and have been taking him every since. i have sat through numerous EEG's EKG's MRI's and OT andABA therapy. he is very scehduled and his father is fighting to take him whenever he wants to without my consent to where he lives 5 hours away and have him stay for summer and holidays and my son can NOT do this. i can not afford my attorney anymore my stepfather was helping me pay and he has passed away in june. the judge wrote a temp visitation for him to come alone with out his mother because all she does is start fights and we are trying to keep a safe environment for my son and let him get used to being around his father and get to know him. his mother showed up follwing me with a camera and stalking me so i left. the second visitaion planned they had people following me and hired a PI just so i could take my son to the museum wo meet his father. his father said i hit him and that iwa s going to jail..... all infront of my son that repats everything. well the PI made a report and it didnt say i did anything wrong. so he filed a motion for contempt because after those 2 situations i said i am not allowing my son to go anywhere with him alone. what will happen at this hearing for contempt on me when all i was doing was keeping my child safe and away from crazyness. also what are the laws for custody with autistic children?

You are right to protect your son, make sure you clearly explain your side to the judge. You should retain a lawyer, find a way.
