Hey Chase here's my 2 cents.
You need to go to the office of family welfare or whatever they call it there in Florida and have your child support done through the state.
He pays the state, they pay you, they have a table they use to calculate the amount of support based on both of your incomes and the number of kids.
If he's not paying you now you'll never be able to collect back child support if it wasn't court ordered.
Also, if he has a history of substance abuse and has ever been arrested or in a rehab program then you can get the court to order supervised visitation for him.
You can get a lawyer for free through the state or the legal aid office to file the motions for you.
If he doesn't have court ordered visitation rights then technically he has no visitation rights. I know this because I've been through it before....I filed for a rule of visitation a few weeks after my son was born (I was never married to his mother) and I didn't have court ordered visitation rights until he was 10 months old.
In the interim I got to see my son whenever his mother happened to be in the mood to let me.
As for this weekend, that's a judgement call.....the safety of your kids has to come first, period.
Just make sure it's their safety you're really looking out for and not some axe you have to grind with him.
