Lakeland, FL asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: what Florida form is used to modify a parenting plan if the other parent is homeless and on drugs?

The other parent has failed to follow the court order and is now showing up to my daughter's school to take her on days that aren't his. He has not been able to provide a stable and safe home for her. He is inconsistent and tells my daughter negative things about her family on both sides. He is showing up to my home and other relatives starting problems. I dont know if there is a specific form than the 12.905 (a) form that I should use.

A: The form that you have is the correct one. You may also want to file a motion indicating the urgency and highlighting the father's poor behavior. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
