Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

As long as you haven't been keeping him from the child, I would suggest seeking to modify time sharing.

Child support is in large part based upon the number of overnights the parties have with the child. If he isn't exercising his visitation, then why should he be getting the benefit of any reduction is child support.

A father can't legally be denied seeing his child if he has a court order allowing timeshare. It's not up to anyone but the judge to make the decision as to whether an unmarried father (or mother) sees a child. If a father has neglected seeing his child, the mother may want to seek change in the timeshare order from the judge, but the mother can't unilaterally make changes by denying timeshare.

It is not fair to the child for the father to be absent for over a year. You need to petition the court to have a set schedule in a court order.
