What needs to be done now on my part? This is family court where the Respondent is not following the final order and denying all communication with the children and visitations.
You should definitely consult with a family law attorney and probably retain one. A Motion for Contempt can be a serious matter. The other documents are requests that the attorney is making for you to produce information or documents. My advice is to consult with a family law attorney. Most... Read more »

This fact is true however, the child is in college and is still being supported by myself and currently resides in my home. I also still pay for his insurance, vehicle, gas, and food.
The law in Florida is that child support terminates at age 18 and/or high school graduation. Unless you have a settlement agreement that says something different the child support will end.

Me and my ex gf have 50/50 child custody. She moved to her parents after we split up. 2 years later she moves to a new place and won't tell me who she rents the house with. As a Father I am concerned about my son's safety. What can I do?
You do not have a specific right to know the names of the people that she lives with. You do have a right to know that your son is in a safe environment. You always have the option of going to court if you can offer specific allegations regarding the safety of the child.
If it was purchased during the marriage then it is most likely marital. An exception might be if it was purchased with funds that were inherited. Title by itself does not make it non-marital.
The divorce final judgement was entered in Feb 2020 ordering the marital home to be sold and sale proceeds split. The order didn't set a deadline for the sale. the order accepted an appraisal for the house at 249K. the listing agent listed the house at 290 and later dropped to 270. 4 months... Read more »

There is no form; however, if the two of you are in agreement then you should put the agreement in writing and both of you should sign it. As an additional measure, you can file the written agreement with the court.
Is a parent who is instructed on divorce decree to have child under their medical insurance responsible for medical bills?
My spouse's ex husband is suppose to have their daughter on his medical insurance through his work. He never put her on the insurance and now there is major... Read more »
This is not a simple yes or no answer. Father was responsible for providing health insurance but there is normally also a provision for how "uncovered" medical expenses are paid. It is possible that the father could be liable for the portion that would have been covered by insurance due... Read more »
I’m afraid for the safety of all children in the home while parents are away every weekend and coming home drunk. One of the children being looked after is handicapped. On occasion they can leave all of them home alone without adult supervision for up to 12 hours.
Report this behavior to Child Protective Services at the Department of Children & Family Services in Tallahassee. Google it.

There's a lot of information in your question and you should probably consult with an attorney for more detaled legal advice. That being said, if there is no child support order, the child support amount has not been legally established and therefore the Father is not violating a court order... Read more »
As an unmarried father you must file with the court to establish your rights to the child. There is no default meaning that it does not happen automatically. Mother has all rights until you go to court.
NCP was supposed to hold medical insurance on a special needs child and never did. The child has since been emancipated and I am looking to collect arrears that are past due? DOR has a hearing 10/14/2020 for contempt of non-payment...I need to know if I can ask them to recalculate the past due... Read more »
The court can only give you what you ask for. You have to file a Motion for Contempt if he was supposed to do something and did not do it and it cost you money. Most child support orders include a division of medical expenses and you can seek reimbursement for those expenses. But unless a motion... Read more »
I am to move into his house and take care of his wife and to have anyone removed if they don't have permission to be there. The wife is not mentally stable to make decisions for her self. Question is can I do all of that without the police getting called and me going to jail for trespassing
The problem is not the police being called, but the fact that if his wife is there and this home is marital, a power of attorney is probably not sufficient to give you authorization over her property. If she has mental capacity and has not been declared incapacitated, a power of attorney on the... Read more »
The temporary guardianship by extended family members has been filed in court but we still haven't been to court yet to finalize anything. DCF closed my case after I filed the temporary guardianship form.
Probably, if it's all right with your father (the guardian and grandfather of your son) and there is no court order in place.
Our divorce is just finalized and my husband's interest in our home is being transferred to me. We are both on the Mortgage. I know I need to refi to remove him from the debt, but how do we go about the quitclaim deed? Is that done before mortgage refi, at time of refi, or after the refi?... Read more »
The best way is to get the quit claim deed executed now. You will then hold the deed until you refinance at which time it will be filed by whoever handles your closing. This way you do not need to chase down your ex in the future when you need the deed.

She doesn't get to "pull the plug"; the hospital does, after consulting your father's living will, if any.
