What is the name of your state? FL
My final judgement of divorce was done in NC and was final in July, 2004. No where in it does it reference anything about custody or visitation of my two children, who are now 8 and 10. However, my ex and I signed a separation agreement prior to the divorce (which was not recorded as part of the final decree), stating that I had primary custody and that he had reasonable and liberal visitation. Now that we live only a couple miles apart, I'd like to formalize the visitation schedule, specifying specific dates for holidays, summer breaks, etc., so we don't have to re-do it every year. My question is this, since visitation was never court ordered, this would not technically be a modification, but rather a new order. How do I go about filing for this? I have downloaded all the forms necessary for a modification, but they say I need to have a order in place to use them. So, I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.
Thanks for any help any of you can give me regarding this.
