Florida family law regarding child custody requires that minor children have frequent contact with both parents even after a separation or divorce. Parents are required to create a parenting plan with a time sharing schedule for court approval that gives minor children ample time to be with each parent, regardless of which parent is the primary custodian. Also, Florida does not automatically grant primary custody to either the Mother or Father. A child custody attorney in Daytona Beach will represent your interests in Family Court to help you reach the desired outcome that is in the best interest of your child.
Child Relocation
Florida family courts have jurisdiction regarding child relocation. When the primary residential parent wants to relocate for any reason he or she must petition the court for approval.
Modification of Time-sharing Agreement
Once a parenting plan and time-sharing agreement is approved by the court, it cannot be changed or modified without court approval. When circumstances change, and it is in the best interest of the child, one or both parents can petition the court for a Modification of Time-sharing Agreement.
Child Support
In Florida, both parents are expected to be equally responsible for raising their minor children. And the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet calculates financial support based on a variety of factors, including income, time-sharing, and child support from a previous marriage.
Father’s Rights
When determining father’s rights, Florida Family Court will always take the best interests of the child into consideration. It is imperative that fathers speak with an experienced child support attorney when seeking to establish or enforce their custodial rights.
