What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My ex-husband and I have been divorced for 5 years. We have 3 children ages 15, 13 and 10. Recently due to hi alcohol abuse and mental abuse the two oldest children have refused to visit their father for his every other weekend visits. My ex has a long, very long history of documented domestic violence with me as the victim. The two oldest (girls) feel as if he has picked up with them where he left off with me.
I have filed to take him back to court for full custody (sole) due to the recent problems with the children. I am also asking for an increase in child support as he has only been paying 50.00 every two weeks.
He notified me yesterday that he wants to sign over his rights to the two oldest girls yet retain joint custody of our son who is 10.
I have been told he can not do this. However what grounds do I need to prove to be awared sole custody?
