Summary
In Florida, sole parental responsibility allows one parent to make all decisions without the other parents input, often granted in cases where shared responsibility is detrimental to the child. Evidence of domestic violence can support your case. Legal Aid Services of North Florida and Florida Rural Legal Services offer pro bono assistance, but conflicts of interest may arise. Florida Rural Legal Services serves Leon County residents facing domestic violence. Sole parental responsibility can be pursued while separated, and an injunction against your husband can be legally challenged for child access. An approved injunction may limit or supervise visitation based on the childs best interest and safety. Consult with a family law attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
I am needing help regarding child custody
Hello ****, I'm here to help. Could you please provide more details about your child custody issue? Are you currently going through a divorce or separation?
I am a victim of domestic violence. My husband was the perpetrator. He has also done acts to our son that are highly concerning and dangerous. My husband and I are currently separated. I am wanting to pursue full custody. However, I live in Florida and know that full custody does not exist here and it goes by a different name, full responsibility I believe.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Florida, what you are referring to is called "sole parental responsibility". It's where one parent makes all decisions without input from the other parent. This is granted in cases where shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the child. If you have evidence of domestic violence, it can support your case. You may want to consult a family law attorney for this process.
I'm needing help finding a family law attorney. As we are separated, I am struggling to afford bills. I currently work * jobs, while pregnant, and it is still not enough. I am needing a pro bono family law attorney and have not been able to find any
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. Legal Aid Services of North Florida and Florida Rural Legal Services provide pro bono legal assistance. I recommend contacting these organizations. They can help you navigate the process of obtaining sole parental responsibility.
I contacted Legal Aid Services of North Florida, and it appears that my husband has already reached out to them and they have taken his case. They will not take mine due to the conflict of interest. Does Florida Rural Legal Services accept people from Leon County, who have experienced domestic violence?

My other question is, is it possible to obtain sole parental responsibility while separated? Or is divorce required first
In Florida, it's possible to pursue sole parental responsibility while separated, if it is in the best interest of the child. The court considers evidence of domestic violence when making custody decisions. However, a divorce may simplify the process. Consult with your attorney.
if i get an injunction against my husband, can he still fight it legally in order to have access to our son
In Florida, even if there's an injunction, your husband can legally challenge it for access to your son. The court will consider the child's best interest and safety. Discuss this with your attorney from Florida Rural Legal Services for a more comprehensive advice.
if the injunction is approved, would he have access to our son
In Florida, an approved injunction does not automatically prohibit access to the child. The court will consider the child's safety and best interest. However, it may limit or supervise his visitation. Consult Florida Rural Legal Services for further advice.
