My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida
At trial, my ex husband asked for extra days/split custody of our 3 children. I was self represented and he had an expensive lawyer. The entire 6 hour trial was exhausting and intimidating, especially when navigating the court process which is foreign to me so I forgot to go back and bring up certain points. After trial I realized that I never brought up my ex husbands drug arrests, year of suspension of his nursing license for a failed drug test. and or history with substance abuse, tobacco and alcohol. His stance was that because my 16 year old is experimenting with marijuana, tobacco and alcohol that I am a "bad" parent. My ex stated that since i am a full time student and single mother (also working) that I am allowing our son the opportunities to be a deviant. My 14 year old has never been in trouble or experimented with drugs. I feel that without this knowledge of dads influence on our son that she will only see a concerned father and give him the 3 extra days of the week.. My ex kept saying that the kids needed more of HIS influence in their lives.
The added kicker is that we live in two different counties and my ex told the judge that he would drive the children to school and pick them up each of those extra days. They attend 3 different schools with each school starting an hour apart and ending each day an hour apart. this will put the children in the car for 4 hours each day.
If she decides against me, what are my options for going back and making these points? I looked at the appeal process and it states that a legal error must have been made in order to appeal.
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
