Vero Beach, FL asked in Child Custody and Family Law for Florida

Q: How much visitation would my ex receive if he came to FL and applied for visitation or custody for our four year old son

My sons father lives in NY and we were never married. I had our son in FL and he is four years old. My sons father met him twice because I brought him to NY so he could meet him. My ex refuses to come to FL to visit our son. The other day he called my house phone and left a threatening voice mail stating that he is going to come to FL and apply for custody and/or visitation. I would like to know since we are long distance and our son really does not know his father too well, how much visitation would my ex receive and also could the visits be supervised since our son barely knows his fathe? Please any info would help. Thank you in advance.

A: You probably should consult with an attorney who practices family law in Indian River County (where you appear to be located); each judge is likely to approach a case like this somewhat differently.
