Child Custody & Timesharing in Orlando
Florida divorce courts address parenting through parental responsibility and timesharing. I handle parenting plans, timesharing, paternity, relocation, and modifications of existing orders. Se habla español.
Does Florida presume 50/50 timesharing?
Yes, subject to statutory exceptions or a different court-approved parental agreement. Florida law presumes that equal timesharing is in the child’s best interests. A parent who wants a different schedule must prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that equal timesharing is not in the child’s best interests. Unless the parents’ schedule is court-approved, the court must evaluate the statutory best-interest factors and make written findings. (Fla. Stat. § 61.13(2)(c))
Who makes major decisions for the child?
The court generally orders shared parental responsibility, meaning both parents share major decisions, unless that would be detrimental to the child; it may assign one parent ultimate responsibility for specific decisions. (Fla. Stat. § 61.13(2)(c))
What else do you handle for parents?
Paternity cases for unmarried parents, parenting plans, relocation with a child, and modifications of existing parenting plans and timesharing schedules. Timesharing is often decided as part of a divorce.
