What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Please go easy on me as this is my first post. I've been reading a lot here.
I've had Sole Physical/Legal Custody (I know it's no longer called that) for about 10 years.
My ex (never married) has only had visitation EOW and every Thursday. He never takes his EOW visitation because he works and only sees the child on Thursdays for about two to three hours. Visitation was established in domestic violence court through an injunction- no violent contact made permanent by judge.
Ex is very angry with me and threatened to take me back to court to change custody. He is saying that my disability causes me to be unfit and he can prove it. He researched it on the internet. He said not only can he prove it, but he said the judge will agree with him and I will lose my custody.
I've had this disease for over 10 years and at times it is debilitating, but I'm under constant care by some of the country's best doctors. Also, my children (I'm married and I have a child with my husband) have never suffered because of it. In fact, they wouldn't even know I had it if it didn't require surgeries.
Anyways, can he use my disability against me in court and would the judge take my custody away because of it?
Thank you in advance.
