What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I have filed for custody of my 15 & 13 year old children. Both kids have expressed to their mother and I that they wish to live with me full time. Both kids want to talk to the judge and in my motion I asked that they be able to talk to the judge or Guardian Ad Litem without their mother or me being present so they could talk openly. Is this sufficient or is their yet another motion I need to file? Should I ask my kids if they want to write statements?
Also, because I cannot afford an attorney and I've been told I don't qualify for aid I will have to represent myself. My 15 year old daughter is a lesbian and her sexuality will have to be brought up. Her mother is allowing her to spend the night with her 14 year old girlfriend which I do not agree with. Her Mother is against her sexuality but is allowing her to do what she wants hoping my daughter will change her mind and decide she wants to stay with her. Any suggestions on how to bring this up without humiliating my daughter?
