I have an LGBT issue with an ex-partner; however, since we live in Florida and were never legally married, I'm unsure if anything can be done.

My ex-partner and I began a relationship after I was divorced. I already had two children- ages 10 and 3. We were together for ten years, and the kids are now 20 and 13. Everything I've read about divorce/separation in same-sex partners seems related to the non-bio partner fighting for rights. My problem is just the opposite. I WANT my ex to be present and involved, but she refuses to work with me or make any kind of schedule/plan.

We separated and she moved out of the house in March, 2015. Since then, she has had limited contact with our daughter- there have been random texts and a few visits/outings, but they have been inconsistent and very few and far between. There have been times when she has gone for weeks, and at one point over a month, without seeing or talking to our daughter.

I see how hurt my daughter is by my ex-partner's lack of presence, so even though I'd rather do pretty much anything else, I continue to try contacting her to set up a plan. My attempts are either completely ignored, or are met with verbal abuse. This has gone on for over a year now. She is a psychological parent, and I do believe this in-and-out sporadic behavior is hurting our daughter, so I would just like to know if there was anything that could be done from a legal standpoint? Is it possible to arrange a visitation schedule through the Florida courts in a situation like this?

Thank you!!

personal injury

The treating neurosurgeon gave an evidence deposition and a taped discovery deposition. Important medical questions were asked and answered with yes on discovery deposition, and then no on the evidence. My physician has reviewed the depositions and says he has blatently went against medical teachings and symptomology associated with my injury. Also he mistated the records read on the taped dep. My attorney withdrew after this. I spoke with another atty. He said that my former atty. should have objected during the evidence dep. and now the neurosurgeon cannot be impeached even with the discovery dep statements, or the records to prove that he was mistating facts under oath. I am pro se , not by choice and trial is in march. My treating physician has been deposed and has correlated my injury symptomolgy and has given causation based on temporal relationship. I dont have the financial means to hire an expert witness. I read I can use textbooks, journals to discredit him. What do I need to do to use them for the bench trial on march 10,2008.
