- Q. What rights do I have to regain custody of my daughter?
- A: Good day,
Your rights to get back your daughter depends upon the type of court that gave an order to the stepfather and the type of court that the gave an order to the biological father.

You may need to join the cases so that there is one Judge assigned to the case and one type of court to hear all the issues involving your daughter. You should speak to a lawyer immediately as time is of the essence.

It is important that she is aware of the terms of the Final Judgment and/or Marital Settlement Agreement before you move in together.

If it was, he already has legal rights, even if he hasn’t been involved.
Filing in Florida would allow you to ask for sole parental responsibility and to limit or even restrict time-sharing based on the child’s best interests and his participation in decision making is detrimental to the child. However, once a case is opened, he could respond ... Read More
