Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Modification of Visitation
My ex-wife keeps trying to put a wedge in between my new wife and myself by making allegations that she talks bad about her to the children, which she doesn't. What is happening is since she has been the parent that has tried to alleniate the children from me, the kids (who are teenagers) are turning against their Mom on their own. Her emails get very draining and it seems like she has nothing better to do. She said that she is going to do another Modification of Visitation. I was told by an attorney that she can't do one unless there was a substanstial change or if income changes 15% either way. Does the same rules apply to her? If so, is she just bluffing and how do we establish that before I get an attorney? I don't mind going back to court because it will actually mean more visitation, but I just wondered the rules in Florida-Tampa area particularly.

Re: Modification of Visitation
The visitation can be modified by the court.The other portion regarding 15% deals with change in incomes and hence a change in child support.I would suggest you send me an e-mail with your phone to discuss further.
