Time Sharing & Parenting Plans For Children
Putting the Best Interests of Children First
The timesharing of children is frequently a significant issue to our clients in divorce matters, paternity cases, relocation and timesharing (formerly known as custody) modification actions. Throughout such proceedings, we encourage both parents to consider the best interests of the children. This type of case is usually emotional and sometimes requires the use of mental health professionals and/or a Guardian Ad Litem.
We have extensive experience in handling such matters and we try to minimize our clients’ emotional anxiety and concerns. We will work with all parties to determine what is in the best interest of our client and the children. We help our clients formulate a Parenting Plan, as required by Florida Statutes ยง61.13, to address how all the issues affecting minor or dependent children will be resolved.
