FlagWe signed this agreement to get rid of dueling DVI injunctions against each other. Both our attorneys mediated an agreement for a seperation to have custody of our son and the house Monday through the following Monday picking/dropping off the son at the Montessori day school (3 1/2 year old). We are speaking and tried marital counseling and anger managment. This was one stipulation in our agreement. I wanted to know my rights where I can dissolve this so that I can be in the house and with my son. I'm so scared and fustrated how long this seperation will go on for. I am still not sure what my wife's future intentions are.
Certainly the terms of any agreement regarding visitation with a child can be revisited. If you are still represented by counsel, you should contact your attorney. If you are currently not represented, I would be happy to meet with you. I do not charge for initial consultation. I am in Wesley Chapel. Please visit my website for contact information.
It sounds like you have reached some sort of temporary agreement, which is probably a good thing but it only a bandaid. What you need now is a divorce that will give you some finality and dispose of the temporary provisions of the agreement. You'll need a family lawyer and your spouse will probably need one too, unless you and he/she can agree on the terms of the final order. It's the same in virtually every case: Either you and he/she agree on all the terms of your divorce or a judge will decide how it's going to be whether you and he/she like it or not. To get the best possible outcome, get a lawyer who will either settle it or litigate to its conclusion.
