How do I stop father from getting 50/50

There is really no way to "stop" the Father from seeking 50/50 timesharing arrangement. However, just because he asked for it in his court documents does not mean the court will award it to him. You need to file a response to his request, and include facts that point against him having 50/50, like the fact that you breastfeeding, or that his work schedule will not allow for it, or that he has not been involved with the child up to this point, or any other issues that might be relevant towards his fathering abilities. Below is the link to a FL statute that the judge uses to come up with a timesharing schedule. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0000-0099/0061/Sections/0061.13.html Before the case goes to "trial" in front of the judge, you and the father must attend a mediation.  Before the mediation, come up with a timesharing schedule that you think is fair and in the best interest of your child. You might do something called a "graduated" schedule, where you have a different timesharing schedule as the child gets older. You might be able to work something out with the Father.
