Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Step Mother
My exhusband's new wife is playing the mom role as if I am not around and it is really getting to be way too much. Have asked her repeatedly to stop acting like I am not here. And remind her that I am primary custodial. But seems the more I say this the more she does. She hid a field trip form from me for my son who is in 2nd grade and signed it as ''my son will attend the field trip and I will champerone'' and I have no idea he is even going anywhere. I set an appointment to take my son to the dentist for a cleaning and in consideration to my ex I send him an email letting him know, well she changed the appointment and took him herself a week earlier than scheduled and did not tell me about it til they wanted me to reimburse them the copay bill. Lately she has had her mail delivered to my home which she has never had ownership to, ever even lived here. My ex's mail stopped coming here one year before he even met her. Me and my ex have been divorced over 4 years and never talked about or acted as if we would ever get back together. Not sure what her issues are. Just want to know what can I do to stop her.

Re: Step Mother
A lot of lawyers are going to have a lot of opinions on to handle this. Some will suggest a motion for contempt for violation of shared parenting. Some will suggest a motion for sole custody. Some will suggest a motion for supervised visitation. Some may have other ideas. The best type of motion will depend on which judge your case is in front of, since there is no precise motion for handling this. Only a good local lawyer will know which action to take in your county. That's why law is an art.
Probably none of these motions will get you more than a slap on your husband's wrist from the judge at first. It may take two or three motions before a judge finally threatens his custody or visitation unless she straightens out. But keep at it. What's happening to you and your son is wrong. Eventually, it will come out right.
