My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida
The father is not on the birth certificate, as he has not been involved for the majority of our child's life. There has been a child support order in place since February 2009 for which he complied with for one year. He has not provided support or anything in kind for the last 10 months and is behind $13,000+, in addition to the back support owed. He has made minimal effort to maintain a consistent relationship with our son. Since our son's birth in 2006 he has seen him at most 5 times. The last time he saw our son is when he was nearly 3 years old. He has since then made very little effort to see him. In the last few weeks he sent me an email to let me know that when he has the ability to see our son he would ask that I not stand in the way. At this point in our son's life I am concerned for his emotional well being and stability. I do not believe it is in our child's best interest to be introduced to a parent who's contact has been inconsistent, without the proper measures (therapy, Guardian ad Litem...etc) being taken.
Can I face any legal difficulties by not allowing contact at this time?
Is there anyway in the state of Florida I could petition for sole custody and visitations could be at my discretion?
