Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My son was recently involved in some legal matters in the state of Alabama. He is now back in Florida and his attorney in Alabama is working out something with the State of Alabama regarding this. He has a daughter by his 1st wife here in Florida and they have been divorced for 7 years. He has visitation every other week from Thur-Sun. However, his ex-wife is wanting him to have supervised visitation due to the issues in Alabama. He is agreeable to that with me supervising the visitation. (When they were going through their divorce, the courts awarded custody of their child to me pending a parental evaluation and I had her for 5 months with the parents visiting her in my home) However, she wants him to only see the child 2 days per month (Fri PM-Sat PM). She has a paper she has drawn up and is wanting him to sign it. I am totally against it as the situation in Alabama did not involve her nor this child and anything that has occurred in the State of Florida has already been addressed previously in their Divorce and subsequent modification. Please advise your thoughts. Thanks.

Don't know. You haven't given enough information. If the Alabama charge is child molesting, he probably ought to take her deal and be glad to have it. If it's grand theft of an iPad or something, I doubt a judge will take away his viaitation. He should speak to a Florida family lawyer. You should stay out of it.
