A: You will need to file a Request for Order FL-300 and request a modification of child custody and visitation orders. There are several attachment forms that you can attach to the FL-300 to be able to fully effectuate your entire request. These forms are: FL-305 for temporary emergency orders, FL-311 child custody and visitation orders, FL-312 supervised visitation order request, FL-341(c)-(e) orders regarding holidays, physical custody and legal custody. You will additionally need to file a UCCJEA declaration describing where your child has been living for the past five years, FL-105. You will need to double check whether there are any county specific forms that are required but these are the basics when dealing with child custody and visitation. You will additionally want to include a declaration with your request explaining what you are requesting and why you want it and why it is in the children's best interest. If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me at my office.
