Freeport, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: Timesharing plan never made legal with court and the mom won't follow through and set a court date been a year now

We were never married and she just moved out last month. She wont set a mediation or court date and its been over a year and im stuck in limbo. They say I can't do anything because she was the petitioner. Can I just have her plan thrown out and started over with a new petition by me or what can I do? She was arrested for DV in front of our son but bc cps got involved i dropped the case. CPS made it seem if I didn't drop the case my son could be taken by the state if I allowed her time with him. Soon as I dropped the case the next day she had filed the timesharing plan stating im a danger and need supervised visits.

A: To ensure your child's safety and well-being, you must establish a timesharing plan with the court. You should consult with a family lawyer to determine the best way to proceed with your case.
