I have had custody of my daughter since 1999-2000. As of today, Child support was never established. My Ex-girlfriend lived in Florida where my daughter ended up becoming a ward of the state due to some issues my ex had with drugs etc. I moved to Florida to gain custody of my daughter and since the case was settled by the State of Florida, I've moved on to Georgia for work and to be near family.

I have sole custody of my daughter. My ex has reasonible visitation and demands it quite frequently however has NEVER paid child support nor is the greatest of role models for our daughter. My daughter is 7 years old. She demands 2 weeks or more for this summer and I feel she is not old enough to go for that period of time since my ex is very unstable at times. She still has mental issues and on/off again drug issues. I need to know what is considered reasonible by law for visitation since we live in two seperate states.

Also, what can be done for child support since reading through my paperwork, nothing was issued for her to pay and I know she works and lives at home.

Please advise.

For the visitation problem, if your court order only states "reasonable visitation" you will need to file a modification through the Fl. court to change it to specific visitation. You can either hire an attorney or do it yourself. You can find the Family Law Forms at www.flcourts.org/

For the CS, you can contact the Georgia child support enforcement office. They can get the process of getting an order for CS started.
