Right now we have joint shared custody, my daughter is 8 months old, and her father is becoming a pest. He quit his job and keeps her for days at a time. Which messes up her schedule. He told me that she doesn't need social interaction until she is 2yrs old. Everything has to be his way, or he threatens to take me back to court. I work 5 days a week, and only have sat & sun off, which he said now that he's not working, he wants to have her those days too. This has to stop. Please someone help! He calls me every hour when I have her tells me he wants me to come back to him. When i don't answer my phone he calls over and over again.

Visitation rights should be included in your divorce/support papers. The times and terms are usually specified. Calling you continually is harrassment and against the law. Call the police or Sheriffs department.Getting sole custody will be hard as long as he is paying his support and does not cause harm to the child. Good luck.

In Florida, the vast majority of full custody cases belong to the mother. Only in the most brutal of scenarios will the child be taken from the mother.
I hope you are documenting all that he is doing (Virtually stalking and harassing you) and not doing (Maintaining gainful employment, keeping the child past agreed upon times of visitation.)
Let him take you back to court! You can then advise the judge or hearing officer of the above.
I would advise my boss of the possibility that you are having problems and may be called to court again or to consult with an attorney. Attorneys will accommodate your work schedules, most judges won't because of their busy schedules.
If you contact the security department of the phone company you can have his phones blocked from calling into your phone. I would also file a stalking and harassment complaint with the police department to document the his tactics.to back up your story.

I guess the first step would be sitting down with him, preferably without your daughter, and talking about what "joint custody" actually means. Tell him you want to work out a schedule and stick to it. Try to be reasonable about it, and work with him.
If that doesn't help the situation, I would call the police if he won't give your daughter back at the agreed time. (I've actually had to do this on my ex-husband. He took our son to a different city and refused to bring him back.) And if he continues to call all the time, you should call the police on him for harassment.
The only way to get full custody is to take him to court. Get a lawyer. If you can't afford one, try your local Legal Aid office. They help lower income families. Your lawyer will probably tell you this, but write EVERYTHING down. Write down your agreed schedule, write down every time that he refuses to give your daughter back and every time he calls. If you have to call the police on him, make sure you get copies of the police reports.
Good luck, sweetie!

The courts would desire to settle directly to terminate the parental rights of the two the father and the mum. the father for not displaying up and the mum for selecting to reproduce with that form of guy. merely be careful once you get the government in touch. they are going to look at your undesirable alternatives too.

You can't.
