Like all other states Florida has specific laws to protect the rights of a father in a child custody and child support issue. There is nothing to worry. In Miami child custody is granted to one of the spouses when a married couple gets separated legally. One of the spouses becomes the custodian. In most of the cases, the mother becomes the custodian. Being a father, you may feel that you will be denied your rights and your fear is not baseless. It has been seen in many cases that the mothers are not willing to let the fathers meet their child. You may fear that you will be in a similar situation despite of court orders. You should remember that when custody is given to one parent, the other parent is granted the right to meet the child. Usually the schedules are also set by the court so that the other parent can not ignore it. Since everything comes under legal bindings, none of the parents can ignore the court orders.
