Depending on which side does not show up, the judge will either have a hearing without the Respondent there or the judge will dismiss the case if the Petitioner is not there.

Theoretically, yes. But it's probably not likely in my opinion. My guess is that he is bluffing.

If you are reasonably fearful that she will physically attack you, seek a restraining order.

The decision to prosecute someone or not is the sole discretion of the State Attorney's office. You can call their office and file a "request not to prosecute" but this does not guarantee the State will not proceed forward.
As for the contact, you can file a motion to... View More

I don't know if a court action for an annulment, as opposed to a dissolution (or divorce) is currently possible, but in any event I don't think that domestic violence would be grounds for an annulment. The remedy is dissolution.

You should also notify the authorities that she appears to have committed a violation of Florida Statute 787.03 Interference with custody; or 787.04 Removing minors from state or... View More

Is there anything that I could do about that
I would like minimal custody for the father because he has an abusive past.
answered on Oct 22, 2017
You definitely should get an attorney if possible.
You mention custody, but you write that you filed for child support. Did you also file for custody? Because they are usually two separate issues.
If you filed some 18 months ago, and nothing has happened, you should contact the... View More

You did not ask a question. You give a set of facts but no question.
You state you know the process so nothing to do but get to it.
Good luck.

Go to the police station where he was arrested to see if a no contact order was issued. If so, obtain a copy. Then, ask for a police escort home to get your things. Next, you should immediately appear at your local courthouse and apply for a restraining order. Once issued, that should get you back... View More

It indeed appears that the lawyer has a conflict of interest which would preclude him from representing your ex in the DV case.
