Legal Answers
54 Questions Answered
- Q. Is one parent's consent enough for minor child counseling in Florida?
- A: In Florida, the Mother's consent for the minor child to receive counseling is sufficient. Some providers may seek to obtain consent from both parents; however, if the Father does not have parental responsibility, providing the counselor with the child support order designating the Mother with sole parental responsibility should be sufficient.
- Q. What can I do if the petitioner files a motion for custody change?
- A: In Florida, you can move to dismiss a custody modification request if it was improperly filed as a motion instead of a supplemental petition. The parent seeking modification must show a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances. General life improvements, like better housing or transportation, may not by itself meet this standard. I recommend consulting a local family law attorney to assess your specific case.
- Q. Can my 15-year-old refuse visitation with a noncustodial parent in Florida?
- A: In Florida, a 15-year-old cannot unilaterally refuse court-ordered visitation, but the custodial parent can petition to modify the visitation order by demonstrating substantial changes in circumstances and showing that the current arrangement endangers the child's mental or emotional health. The court will consider evidence of the volatile interactions, the child's ongoing therapy, and emotional distress to determine whether modification serves the child's best interests. I recommend consulting with a family law attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case.
