When parents seek a divorce in Florida, they must decide who will have custody of the children. If they cannot reach an agreement on their own, they may need the court to decide the child custody arrangement for them.
Let’s discuss how parental time-sharing works in Florida. If your divorce involves children, you may want to talk to an Orlando time-sharing attorney to discuss your situation and determine the best custody arrangement in your case.
What is Parental Time-Sharing?
Most states use the term “child custody” to describe the arrangement regarding children between parents upon a divorce. Florida, on the other hand, recognizes the term “parental time-sharing.”
Florida law encourages both parents to have equal parenting time with their children, even after a divorce. However, it is not always possible for divorced parents to share an equal amount of time with their kids, which is why parents may need to work out a different time-sharing arrangement.
What Are the Different Time-Sharing Schedules?
While divorced parents are free to work out a unique time-sharing schedule that fits their particular needs and circumstances, some of the most common 50/50 time-sharing schedules are as follows:
These are the common examples of equal (50/50) time-sharing schedules. For many divorced parents, a 60/40 or even 70/30 schedule may be more appropriate if one of the parents cannot spend a lot of time with the kids. It is advisable to consult with an experienced attorney to determine the best time-sharing arrangement for your particular circumstances.
When Do Florida Courts Approve Parenting Plans?
When parents get divorced in Florida, they must present a parenting plan for a court’s approval. In Florida, courts approve parenting plans when they contain the following:
It is critical to contact a skilled time-sharing attorney to help you work out the appropriate time-sharing arrangement and develop the right parenting plan that will be approved by the Florida court.
