Forgot to add, don't worry about what other people think of your username.  It's just a name.   

Get your son into therapy, I think that will help him deal with what is going on.  And it won't hurt to get the opinion of a neutral third party. 

It does sound like there is a conflict of interest.  You can always report the attorney to the state bar association. 

Personally, I would just get proof that you sent it and attach them as evidence to any motion that you file where the letters are relevant.  I think that if you continously send letters to the court, you will just end up annoying them.  And you don't want to do that. 

That depends on what you are asking.  In states that take parenting time into consideration, then a change in parenting time would have an impact on child support.  In states where it is not, then it would have no impact. 

You are talking about joint legal and not joint physical, correct?  Because if you are talking about joint physical, you need to move back to Colorado.  A judge isn't going to order that a child commute over a thousand miles to school during the time your child is with you. 

As for your ex paying half the costs, well, why should she?  You are the one who moved away.  There are colleges in Colorado that you could have gone to. 

So what's stopping him from filing for custody now?  Or at least a court ordered parenting plan? 

The father needs to contact an attorney about filing for custody of the kids.   And he really does need to have an explanation as to why he didn't file for custody when the kids were removed from the bio mom for neglect.  I know if I was a judge, I would be asking why myself.   

Have you legally established paternity?  If not, when you consult with an attorney ask how you can go about doing that without having the mother take off with the baby. 

Because right now, she is the only proven parent since you aren't married to her and were not at the time of birth.  And can move out with the child.  And there's not a thing that you can do about it.

Do you have documentation of her suicide threats?   Keeping a journal isn't as good as her saying it in front of a neutral witness or sending you an e-mail with the threat. 

And the next time she threatens suicide, call the cops and tell them that she threatened to kill herself and you are concerned that she will actually follow through on it. 

Good luck.

Not from Florida, but just wanted to say that I think it's great that you are moving to be near your child.
