what should I expect in court in FL?

[erok011]

We have a divorce coming up soon (I hope). We have agreed on most terms so far, we have agreed to split custody. We alternate custody of our 2 children one week on one off. My ex wife has been verbally abusive towards me through text and phone calls. I have seen defaming comments on her facebook page. I have copies of everything. She works and goes to school and her time is limited to the hours after work till bed time with the kids. (5:30 till 9:30pm Monday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday) the remainder of the time the children are in day care or with a sitter. I have much more time available to spend with my kids. My question is, should I bring up any of this to the judge when we go before them? Will it matter at all. Will the judge offer to give me custody, do I have to ask for custody. Neither of us have attorneys, neither of us can afford one. There are no other marital assets except a vehicle she keeps and pays for, but it is titled to and registered to me still. Please help. I am so confused. I can get a loan for a couple thousand dollars if I have to, but would prefer to handle it myself. I have a college education and internet access and time to research statutes and precedent if need be. Will it even matter?

Thanks,
Erik

Yes, all of that matters. But you must prove it.

I would suggest you talk with us about self-help coaching. We can explain how to present evidence and speak with the judge. Compared to full representation, the cost is reasonable.
