I have custody of my children from a previous marriage. My ex did not show up for court, has a history of alcohol and drug abuse that was reported in court by DCF, and has court ordered supervised visitation, but then moved out of the state of Florida.
Now the non custodial parent is moving back and is threatening to petition the court for custody. They have not seen the children in 2 years, nor have they paid court ordered child support.
They have been in trouble with the law in the state that they moved to. Does this parent stand any chance of getting custody or even regular over night visits?

My brother met a girl with an expired visa, fell in love got pregnant, married, had a baby, lost his job. She doesn't work, fell on really bad times and now she abandoned him and his son, took all her clothes, and left the key.
Days later she returned with police after an email he sent explaining that he filed a police report because he was worried.
He explained that she was not stable when she first left, he first filed as a missing person and then after she came back to get her clothes and leave the key he went back and updated the report to child abandonment.
Things are getting ugly, police, child services, after ordeal the baby is still with my brother. He now has to take drug test to prove her lies and she has to be evaluated. Question is what happens now if the state takes the child, who will have rights to him?
She is not supposed to be in this country and at this time the father is having a hard time taking care of himself, who will take care of the baby? Neither one of them at this time as much as they love the baby are able to support the baby?

My wife and I went to court yesterday in Florida. I filed for dissolution of marriage, Uniform child custody jurisdiction enforcement act and a verified emergency motion for ex parte temporary injunction compelling return of minor child to the jurisdiction of the state of Florida.
To make a long story short....my wife and I had a dispute on a Saturday in Florida where she called the police "alleging" I hit her. I never raised one finger to hit her. + The responding officer came to our house to find NO evidence what so ever.
He took both our statements and recommend i stay with my parents that night..He gave me that option..I wasn't forced in any way to leave the residence but I did...I came back to house that next day (which was Sunday)..we were fine..no arguing or fighting.. so the next day (Monday afternoon Oct 4)
I came home from work and she was gone...taken herself and our children to Ohio (I assumed)..not telling me anything..the only way I knew was because most of the kids clothing were gone...so Tuesday morning she filed a Order of Protection against me in Ohio (that's where she's from but had been staying in Florida for the past four years).
I immediately hired an attorney here in Florida to try and get my kids back in Florida....fast forward to yesterday, Oct 21 we had a court date to try and get my children back in Florida. After all was said, the judge said she couldn't make a ruling on the case until she knows what happens with the order of protection in Ohio.
I was told she could have still ordered the children back to Florida. My lawyer and I was ####... I haven't seen or heard from my kids (5 and 1) since Oct 4 and I don't go to court on the Order of protection till Nov 4 in Ohio.
I just hired an attorney in Ohio to try and get this order dismissed because it's playing a major role in my being able to see my children even though all the research of Florida statues clearly states that the children are FLORIDA residents. Any advice or comments will be appreciated!
