Helping clients understand Florida child custody laws.
Florida law does not presume that either parent should be given custody of the children. The best interest of the child is the primary consideration of Florida courts in matters of child custody and visitation. However, there are several specific statutory criteria that must be analyzed. In fact, Florida law has now evolved such that there is no longer (as of October 2008) any designation of a primary or secondary parent. Every case requires that a parenting plan be established that clearly outlines each partner's duties, responsibilities, and parenting time of each child.
Florida law seeks to assure that each minor child receives frequent and continuing contact with both parents after the parents have separated or divorced. State law encourages parents to share the rights and responsibilities of child rearing. The father is given the same consideration as the mother in determining custody regardless of their child's age, sex or other factors.
In a majority of situations, it is preferable that a child have contact with both parents. However, in some circumstances, parenting time with one parent is not advisable. In these particular cases, we will work with you in an effort to convince the courts of what truly is in your child's best interests.

In child custody cases, it is always our goal to work out an acceptable agreement between a child's parents. However, if negotiations break down, we will not hesitate to take your case before the court.
In addition to helping families establish Parenting Plan Agreements, we can also help you modify previously established orders. Contact a Florida child custody lawyer for a free initial consultation.
