How Is Child Custody Determined in Florida?
In Florida, the term “custody” has been eliminated from the conversation and replaced by terms including a parenting plan and time-sharing schedule. The courts will determine “child custody” and establish a parenting plan and time-sharing schedule based on the best interests of the child. A recent change in Florida law has now established a presumption that time-sharing should be equally divided between parents. However, this presumption may be overcome under certain circumstances.
UNDERSTANDING TIME-SHARING AND PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
In the State of Florida, the concepts of time-sharing and parental responsibility are used to determine child custody arrangements.
Time-Sharing: Time Sharing refers to the actual physical time that a child spends with each parent. It summarizes the schedule and arrangements for when the child will be in the care of each parent. The time-sharing schedule will determine where the child will reside. This includes weekdays, weekends, holidays, vacations, and other special occasions. The objective of parenting time is to ensure that both parents have routine and meaningful contact with the child.
Parental Responsibility: Parental responsibility refers to the decision-making authority and responsibilities of each parent regarding important aspects of the child's life. It contains the right and responsibility to make decisions regarding the child's education, healthcare, religious upbringing, and other substantial matters. In Florida, parental responsibility can be granted as either sole parental responsibility or shared parental responsibility.
What's the Best Way to Approach Children’s Issues?
The best way to approach children’s issues is to be honest and open with your attorney. You should be honest about your situation, your work schedule, your child's routine, and your child's relationship with the other parent. Your attorney can then help you formulate a plan that will be in the best interests of your child and family.
