It may have an issue on the timesharing and child related matters. Section 61.13(3) of the Florida Statutes contains the factors that the Court considers when establishing a parenting plan with time-sharing schedule. Your spouse's use of marijuana may have an impact on his timesharing and other aspects of his parenting. However, as to the type of impact it may have, if at all, that will depend on additional facts that should be addressed with an attorney during an initial consultation. There are many attorneys who do offer a free initial consultation. You should definitely schedule a consultation to address the specifics of your case. All the best.
