I fear for my 14 month old baby's life, my seperated husband refuses the covid vaccine and if he gets covid, he's putting my baby's life at risk. Can i stop him from seeing my baby unless he gets the vaccine?

If you disagree on time-sharing you need to file for divorce and ask for the court to order a parenting plan inclusive of a time-sharing schedule. I have never seen the court limit a parent's contact over not having the vaccine and do not think that is a likely outcome absent an extraordinary... View More 
Spouse abandoned the home in November 2020 and hasn't helped financially.

Florida is a no fault state so there are no longer required grounds to get a divorce. I recommend filing for divorce and seeking child support (if applicable) and alimony (if applicable).

You should file for divorce and then file a motion for a temporary child support order.

If you no longer trust or have faith in your attorney it sounds like you should consider hiring new counsel.
If I have to return the children to the other parent seven days prior to school recommencing on 2nd September at 8am, would this be on 26th August or specifically before 8am on the 26th?

Yes, but no cash as there is no paper trail and clearly put child support in memo line.

The father has not helped financially at all, he’s even questioned DNA, he has two other children from previous relationship and has nothing to do with them. I recently found out he now has another woman pregnant and also he’s on drugs and have proof.

No, if a child is born outside of marriage then the mother has the rights until the father's paternity is adjudicated. There is no requirement to allow contact. Keep in mind that if you later end up in court, your actions in not allowing contact will be reviewed by the court. If you fear drug... View More

Your spouse does not need to agree. You just file for divorce and indicate that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Trying to figure out how long a parenting plan is usually scheduled for. A year, 6 months or maybe even less?
answered on Aug 11, 2021
It covers until the child is an adult. It is not limited to short time frames.
My ex's job has her traveling quire a bit and she constantly wants to change our week to week schedule. She would like to do a parenting plan only a month or two in advance however I would be fine with a year, excluding summers. It is a constant source of conflict.
answered on Aug 11, 2021
Typically a parenting plan is done based on the current best interests of the child. If it needs to be modified in the future then the person seeking modification files with the court to do so and holds the burden of proving that it should be modified. It is not common for a parenting plan to... View More

Yes, you still need to pay child support until the order is changed or until your child emancipates. The name change, even if granted, has no bearing on your support obligation.
Our three kids. I have recently gotten an inheritance from an aunt that passed away. If we divorce is she entitled to any of this money?
answered on May 17, 2021
No, but make sure to keep the inheritance in a separate account without any other funds.
The case did not contain any orders for if/when the children emancipated.
answered on May 6, 2021
Typically children emancipate when they turn 18 unless they are still in high school participating in good faith, in which case they emancipate upon graduation or age 19 whichever is earlier. Other ways a child can emancipate are marriage or entry into military.

If you acquired the house, car and semi truck during the marriage then it is likely to be marital property so you should get half of everything. You are not trespassing and do not have to move out of the home right now. You should also consult with an immigration lawyer.
Is there a standard mandate on this across Florida? For context, these networks are typically religious ministries and were specifically included in the ACA legislation to allow participants to be exempt from the ACA Mandate.
answered on Apr 25, 2021
I think this really depends on the language in the final judgment. Generally, this is not done and the court is looking for you to get health insurance for the child.
My step dad does not like my mom's family and he refuses to let my mom do what she wants with her half of the profit from selling their home..what's her legal rights to her half of the profit.
answered on Apr 25, 2021
Is they are divorcing then she would likely get half the proceeds. If there is not a divorce then the proceeds will be wired to a joint account or an account the parties designate. Thereafter, there would be no rules on how the money is spent because the courts are not involved. Your mother would... View More
