Can she take him back?

Still doesn't change the fact that I don't have the money to pay for one. I know I need one. But that doesn't make it a possibility if I can't pay for one.

See if you can at least get a consult with one, and maybe even have them draw up the paperwork but not represent you in court.

Get a restraining order against the boyfriend. Start there... File a CPO as next friend of your son and protect him from the boyfriend. There are organizations that will help with that.

Please listen to OG.

Have you looked for legal aid programs.

See if there is a law school within driving distance with legal clinics - many do, so their students can get some experience.

so it's clearly a FL matter...this time use counsel,...and get counsel aboard BEFORE Mom takes any further steps to recover child. ...I don't know how to solve the cost issue ...long shot ..IF CPS removes the child from harms way and places him with you ..if that's consistent with CPS

I simply don't know how CPS works in FL or the options to seek a court appointed advocate / guardian for the child ...but in your very limited financial circumstances I'd be checking under every possible rock about obtaining advocacy for what is best for child.

Based on your post about Moms manipulation of stories ...the child is not served well if Mom can appear and claim redemption of her ways and BF is long gone. ( when it may be he left two days ago and will return in two days )...somebody needs to be in child's corner ! ( I know the local system provides court appointed advocates for children with special education or criminal justice system needs around me ..but I'm not n FL nor is this a special education matter.) CPS might be best option in your book....especially IF placement with you is in childs best interest and you are now a FL resident
