What Kinds of Child Custody Arrangements Are Available?
Judges typically favor agreements where both parents share custody of the children. This is because the Florida legal system prioritizes “the best interests of the child.” This often means encouraging both parents to maintain healthy relationships with their children.
Your parenting plan may include the following:
- Shared parental responsibility: Both you and the other parent have an equal say in your children’s healthcare (including mental healthcare), education, and extracurricular activities.
- Shared parental responsibility with decision-making authority: With this kind of arrangement, the parents must try to agree on major decisions, but only one parent has the power to make the final decision.
- A regular time-sharing schedule: Each parent will have physical custody of the children for a few days or weeks at a time before turning them over to the other parent at an appointed place and time.
- A time-sharing schedule for special occasions: You can alter the schedule to account for holidays, school breaks, or planned travel.
Can I Get Sole Custody of My Children?
If the judge finds that sharing parental responsibility or physical custody would be “detrimental to the children,” they may agree to grant sole responsibility and/or custody. This means only one parent has the ability to make decisions and/or to have unsupervised access to the children.
Sole custody arrangements might be an option in cases involving:
- Domestic abuse or neglect
- Unresolved mental health issues, including drug or alcohol addiction
- Recent criminal charges or convictions
If you believe that your children would be better off if you do not have to share time or responsibility with the other parent, tell us. Our family attorneys can collect evidence to prove your position and argue your case before the judge.
What if I Need to Change the Custody Arrangements?
Say that the other parent addresses all of the issues that made them an unfit parent, or that you find your current time-sharing schedule is too hectic for your children. You do not have to live with a parenting plan that does not meet your family’s needs. Our Daytona Beach custody lawyers can:
- Help you promptly notify the other parent of any problems
- Suggest ways to modify the plan so that it better serves you and your children
- Work with both sides until everyone can agree on a solution
- Submit the modified plan for the court’s approval
Our Daytona Beach Lawyers Handle More Than Child Custody Cases
If you are dealing with a child custody dispute, there is a good chance that you also have other family law matters to contend with. These may include:
- Divorce proceedings, including disagreements about alimony or property division
- Child support payments
- Injunctions against an abusive partner
- Proving paternity (this is critical for unmarried fathers who want to retain parenting rights)
- The implications of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements on your divorce or child custody case
In the future, as your or your former partner’s situation changes, you may have to modify existing child support or alimony agreements or take legal action to enforce these agreements.
