You need to get to a local attorney and find out what can be done. You can file in Florida, and it is probably the best place to file if you have been a resident for more than 6 months, and especially if your marriage was last intact here. Is he paying support to you for the child? There are two basic ways to go: uncontested, or contested. Uncontested is when you both agree on the resolution of all of the issues, and contested is when there is just one issue, or more, that the parties do not agree upon. If it is uncontested, the cost will be much less. So, try to agree with him as to shared parenting, a time sharing plan, the division of assets and debts. The amount of child support should also be agreed to, but there is a specific statute that must be followed.
