thank you for your insight. i am actually glad that there is a forum specifically for florida. posting on the general one has done me no good since posters aren't sure of what the current laws in florida are.
my attny was not planning on bringing up the drug/alcohol use unless he contested. which he is so we will mention it. i understand since i can't prove it, it doesn't do much good but it would make me feel better none the less. i have been the primary care giver and provider, working full time and taking care of my son. my ex however has had 4 different jobs in the last 3 years including six months of unemployment. during this period of time did not stay home and take care of our son, our son was always in some kind of daycare full time.
logically i know that i will win and ex doesn't have a leg to stand on. i am prepared to go as far as i have to to ensure ex does not get more then what the state mandates. one night a week and every other weekend/holidays.
i talked to my attny today and he said that he is prepared to nail his ass to the wall. no job, no support, come on there is no way he can get 50/50. maybe if he had a sucessful career, providing for keagan during this time, and was stable i would have a fight.
