Have questions about child custody in Florida?
You’re not alone. Here are some of the most common questions we hear—and the answers you need to move forward with clarity.
How is custody decided in Florida?
Florida law doesn’t use the term “custody”—it focuses on time-sharing and parental responsibility. Courts consider many factors, including the child’s relationship with each parent, living stability, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs. We help present a strong, well-documented case for the arrangement you believe is best.
Can I get sole custody of my child?
Sole parental responsibility is rare and typically only granted when one parent is unfit or poses a risk. Most cases involve shared parental responsibility, where both parents make decisions and have time with the child. If safety is a concern, we’ll fight to protect your child.
What is a parenting plan?
A parenting plan outlines how divorced or separated parents will share responsibilities. It covers everything from weekly time-sharing schedules to holidays, education, and health decisions. We craft detailed, customized plans that reduce conflict and hold up in court.
Can I modify a custody agreement later?
Yes. If there’s been a substantial change in circumstances—such as a move, job change, or change in the child’s needs—you can seek a modification. We help parents file or respond to modification requests effectively.
What happens if one parent wants to move away with the child?
Florida law requires court approval for relocations beyond 50 miles. We handle both contested and uncontested relocation cases, helping ensure your rights and your child’s wellbeing are protected.
