You need attorney now! The 50-50 argument is NOT law in Florida! Last year it passed legislature but was veoted by Governor. Old rules are still in effect. Men are pushing for 50-50 time share because they know they cannot be forced to exercise their time but child support is severely reduced. Proposed statute is not under consideration by the legislature this year because they do not want political fallout / backlash from women in election year. Be afraid, be very afraid.
father is entitled to time sharing, ant to enforce his rights, although he is as late to the party as he can be, by the time the case is resolved thie child will almost be emancipated. That being said you should retain counsel.
