If there is no court ordered custody arrangement, there is no reason the grandparents keep the child from you, unless there are proofs you are unfit to care for the child and they appeal for custody for the child. Speak to lawyer to know how best to proceed with your case.

The Judge was the ONLY person who established your husband's visitation rights, and the Judge is the only person who can answer this question. Do NOT rely on a "military POA." Ask the Judge.

When my child turns 18, he has graduated HS, will my supposed now be 440 per month?
answered on Sep 19, 2022
You should speak with a local family law attorney to recalculate your child support for one child. It does not automatically go to half and it could even be lower than half. More importantly, you want to record the change with the court so that you are protected if there is a dispute in the future... Read more »
When my child turns 18, he has graduated HS, will my supposed now be 440 per month?

That would be a reasonable assumption. But if the person to whom you pay child support (payee) disagrees, you had better apply to the court to have the decree clarified.

If you are still the legal parent of the child and only shared the child with the father then why is an agreement needed at all? Besides a family lawyer you may need to speak to a probate lawyer (a lawyer that handles estates after someone dies). If you had your parental rights taken away that is a... Read more »

No, he cannot just kick you out like a dog. If you have stayed there for longer than 30 days, then he has to take legal steps to evict you. If you are married then different rules apply. But if you are just a houseguest, then he first has to serve you a notice to vacate, and then he has to file an... Read more »

Your question is too vague. I suggest you re-post with short description of what caused a newborn to be taken. And by "defac", do you mean DCF (Dept. of Children and Families)? And by "notifying you parents", do you mean notifying the parents of the child being taken away?

If a Judge gave your father temporary custody of your daughter, you will have to return to the same Judge to undo his Order. You might have visitation rights but that is NOT the same a custody.

If there is a court-ordered parenting plan in place, you can file a motion for modification. If the mother is proved unfit to take care of the child, the court may grant you more time or sole parental responsibility. Talk with a family lawyer to know how best to proceed.

The law in Florida is that you can only address children's issues if one or both of the parents (or the children) live in Florida. It sounds like no one lives in Florida anymore so you would need to go to court where you or the other parent lives. Should you move back to Florida and live here... Read more »
