Child Custody and Time-Sharing (Visitation) can rip families apart. As parents, we understand the emotionally charged circumstances you face when your right to be involved in your child’s life is at stake. Whether you are married or not, the same Florida laws apply to parents seeking custody or time-sharing with their children. This is another area of family and marital law that requires that the interests of children be properly protected; and, that is where we come in.

Parents should be able to get answers to important questions regarding their children QUICKLY, without having to wait days or weeks for a phone call or appointment.

Sharing Parental Responsibility

Under Florida law, it is generally believed that both parents should be involved in making significant decisions impacting their children’s well-being. This is especially true in the area of health care, schools and religion. Whether one parent retains primary physical custody; the other will often be entitled to visitation rights. Of course, the manner and frequency of time-sharing is subject to negotiation, agreement or trial for the judge to decide.

We have learned that it is important to be good listeners. We take the time to learn about your family life and focus on all of your concerns. Once we understand the facts, we will explain the legal issues involved and we can communicate with the opposing attorney to reach an agreeable parenting plan. Through negotiation and mediation many issues can be fairly settled. That will save you time and stress. If your partner is not cooperative we will be ready to go to court and aggressively protect your rights.

Determining Child Custody and Visitation

We remain current on child development theory and philosophy and understand that each family setting is unique. All children have different needs. Under Florida law, children are to be protected by their parents from the emotional trauma associated with divorce. While every separation and divorce will have some negative impact, the goal for the judge in your case is to make good decisions relating to custody and visitation. Your judge will focus on the best interests of your child to find a living arrangement that is suitable. In order to do so there are twenty separate considerations for Florida families. Knowing these factors and understanding how to best present your situation is why you should call us today. As we will explain to you, the court does not focus on what is best for you financially or emotionally. You should also know that the custodial parent is entitled to receive child support from the other parent. However, if the custody is shared, that may lessen child support payments. So, it is crucial that we work together and that you understand all these critical issues.
