Tulsa, OK asked in Child Custody for Florida

Q: I'm the single father in OK with a daughter in FL. She came and visited for the holidays, but now is back home in FL.

She is 13 Years old. Her mother and step father is out of rehab and back at the house. My daughters grades have gotten worse and attitude has changed big time. Ms. Tracht, what do you suggest? Should I wait and see if they get it together? I have called her schools Guidance Couselor and left a message to call me back. I am planning a trip back there to see for myself what it looks like.
