Margate Child Custody
In Florida, there are two different concepts related to child custody: parental responsibility and time-sharing.
Time-sharing relates to how the child’s time is divided between the two parents. This is the aspect most parents think of when the topic of custody is mentioned.
Parental responsibility relates to decision-making rights regarding the child and will define how legal decisions regarding the child’s health, education, and financial well-being are made.
Each of these two elements can be granted solely to one parent or can be shared jointly between the two. We help you understand how each concept applies to your case and help you fight for the level of access and responsibility that you desire.
Determining Florida Child Custody
When Florida courts make decisions regarding time-sharing and parental responsibility, there are many factors they consider; however, the overriding goal is to define a solution that is in the “best interests of the physical, mental, and moral welfare of the child.”
If the other parent has a history of physical abuse, issues with alcohol or substance abuse, is unable to actively provide a stable and safe home life, or is otherwise unwilling or unable to either provide care for their child or make beneficial legal decisions on behalf of the child, then their rights may be limited. Each custody situation is unique and is handled with the dedicated attention it deserves.
While no attorney can guarantee specific results, our Florida child custody lawyers are highly motivated to fight for your right to build a relationship with your child. Whether you need assistance with creating an equitable time-sharing plan and strategy for negotiation, need help preparing documentation to support your plan, or need a family law expert to deliver a compelling argument, Davis and Associates, Attorneys at Law works diligently on your behalf to deliver the best possible results for your case.
Custody Modification & Enforcement
Once a time-sharing and custody agreement has been entered and approved by the courts, there can still be issues that arise.
Situations may arise that require you to make adjustments to your custody agreement. Your work hours or job may change, or you may find it necessary to relocate. This may mean that your existing plan no longer meets your needs or works with your schedule, requiring you to request custody modification.
Our dedicated and experienced child custody modification attorneys review your desired adjustments and help you create a new time-sharing and parenting plan that works for your new schedule. We then assist with the legal process of getting the new plan approved by the courts and activated. We want to help you develop a reasonable schedule that works with your lifestyle while providing ample time to build a meaningful relationship with your children.
If the other parent is not complying with the court-approved time-sharing arrangments, such as repeatedly missing drop-offs, being late, or otherwise not upholding their end of the agreement, you have the right to pursue legal recourse through child custody enforcement. We assist with all aspects of child custody, time-sharing, parental rights, and paternity.
