Winter Park Child Visitation Lawyer
When deciding on timesharing and custody, factors about each parent are looked over by the judge. The Florida Statutes require the judge to evaluate child custody, now "timeshare" in light of 20 different factors. Some important deciding factors affecting the timesharing decision include:
- Good contact and relationship with the child
- Good relationship with the other parent
- Being supportive of the child in all manners
- Encouraging the child and the other parent to have a good relationship
- Geographic viability of the visitation schedule
- Parental responsibilities and parenting tasks
- Moral Fitness of the parents
- Demonstrated capacity and disposition
- Mental and physical Health and fitness, community record, the time and intensity of relations, past actions, future plans
- Any other Factor the judge finds relevant
The judge will assess the relationship between the two parents. Issues, such as negative language of the other parent in front of the child, are questioned. Parents who avoid bad mouthing the other parent in front of the child will most likely have an easier time receiving the desired timesharing plan. If all else fails, Parents should say, "Do you know how much your (father/mother) loves you?"
We help our clients understand that they can love and support their children even though they don't love and support each other.
Orlando Child Custody Attorney
A judge does not easily give one parent sole custody of a child. Only under extreme circumstances does a judge remove parent rights. Extreme circumstances typically involve cases of domestic violence, criminal activity, alcoholism or drug abuse, and they are often difficult factors to prove in court. Our lawyers can help you establish the best timesharing solution for you and your family.
