Divorce happened in Florida. My ex-husband shot and killed someone on duty (he is a cop). He reguarly cancels visitation with the kids and now wants to see them. My concerns, he committed adultry during my last pregnancy and 6 weeks after giving birth he abandoned us for her. He now lives with her (and has a baby with her). She also got pregnant while we were still married, to try to force him to get off the pot and divorce me. I told her she can have him and I filed and won a relocation 200 miles away from him. The divorce is final. In the MSA he is supposed to have them every other weekend, but continuly cancels or just dosen't even call at all. He has done to many things wrong to list here. My question is, he is a very unstable person to do the things he has done to me and the kids since he abandoned us, and now he just killed someone on duty and wants to see his kids? I'm afraid for my kids?!?! Also there are some inappropriate sleeping arrangments I'm concerned with (her 13 year old son sleeping in the same room as my 2 daughters, one is 11 years and the other is 2 years.) He has a small 2 bedroom apt. with 6 people staying there when my kids are staying with him. I'm also afraid that he is possibly getting death threats from the suspect's (dead man) family. It appears the shotting was justifiable but you know how the world turns upside down when you least expect it. The divorce and shooting happened in Florida.

Other than the sleeping arrangements there is nothing in your post that would forbid visits. His adultry is unrelated. He is a Police Officer and was forced to shoot someone, sadly that happens. What did department say? Has he been indicted for murder? His canceling of visits or lack of calls can be justified or perhaps not but it still does qualify to remove his parental rights. If you feel that strongly about your children being in danger, and it not just your anger at him, then file for a modification of vistation.

The fact that you have the audacity to put this title as "Ex-husband shot and killed someone and now wants visitation" shows that you are simply looking for any reason at all to keep him from being in HIS childrens' lives.
There is absolutely NOTHING in your post that would indicate in any way that any Florida judge would restrict your ex's rights.
To be brutally honest, it's highly likely that a Judge would come to the same conclusion as I have, and would view you as a very jealous, controlling, angry, and vindictive mother. Which is NOT a good thing for you in court, and worse, it only hurts your kids. -

The only reason I put a small history in the post is for past informational purposes (so the reader has an idea of past history and how the divorce occured). I have no reason to lie in my post about any of the information, ESPICALLY if I'm seeking others advice. And to see your reply indicates YOU HAVE some issues to work out. I have long moved on and anyone in my situation with the past, present and future would have concerns about EVERYTHING from sleeping arrangments down to the job duty's of each person involved with the kids. When I say he is un-stable I mean it and I have witnessed it and I have documented it. My title was for maximum exposure, and to get some information. I have all the information I need from my attorney to go with my case. Any judge would want to know the history of any divorce to proceed.

This advice is just based on what you've posted here- if your attorney hasn't advised you to let him/her do ALL the talking, it would be a very good idea for you to just let your attorney do all of the talking. Because, as I said, if you try twisting things in court the way you did here, I can almost guarantee that the Judge will NOT be impressed with you at all. The important thing to remeber is this- tell only the truth, with nothing left out or added, get your documentation in order, and a Judge will listen and be impressed.Quote:
