2Your sister can take the primary custody of the child if she has better living condition and income. However, you will need to get a lawyer to help you. Hiring a lawyer is not cheap and not many courts have free family lawyers. The best option I think would be to see if you can start to move in with your fiance and start a life with him at his place while you get back on your feet. Give me a call if you would like to talk. But try to make changes in your life for the benefit of your child.
Please keep in mind that not all lawyers are the same, therefore be very cautious as to which attorney or law firm you chose to work with. We are based in New York but my network of SMS ATTORNEYS does travel out of state for clients and we might have a Child Custody lawyer available in Florida. Feel free to give us a call for a free consultation. If you're facing financial hardship, one option may be to speak with the court clerk about a court-appointed lawyer, known as a Pro Bono, or free lawyer. If you would like to retain our services while on a limited budget, do let us know and we will try to do our best to offer payment plans options.
