It depends. I live in Missouri. I am able to call the respondent, but only to discuss custody matters with our children. In most cases, you may not call the respondent because that would be violating the order of protection.

Divorce laws in Florida vary according to numerous details, such as the grounds for divorce, whether it is an uncontested divorce, how property is divided, the allocation of child custody, and so on. For a divorce to be completed, the Petitioner and Respondent must reach a fair agreement, and it is highly advised that a divorce lawyer or mediator is hired to ensure this happens.
Probably not. But you can make sure by getting an attorney and go back to court to amend the custody. The custody decision is not of stone. You need to obtain a lawyer.Your attorney will work with you to find a middle area where both of you are fairly satisfied in the amended custody hearing. You can get this started by writing a letter to the judge that presided over this case and state that you think that your rights were violated. You can tell the judge in this letter that you did not have fair council and you wish to reopen this case. After you attain a lawyer, he/she can advise you further. If you can not afford an attorney, you can apply for one through the courts, or you can go to a state agency attorney program.
The timeline for a custody hearing can vary depending on the court's schedule and location. In some cases, it could take a few weeks to a few months to get a custody hearing date. It's best to consult with a family law attorney in your area for more specific information.

It is important to check the court rules and any specific timelines provided in the custody papers.
My husband is going through a custody battle in Florida right now and we filed seven months ago and there is no hearing as yet... Still working through the preliminary "stuff" and custody has not been even heard as yet with no scheduled date for a hearing. I know some states there is a law that states custody hearings are given the utmost importance... Florida apparently is not one of them.
