Changes to Laws Regarding Child Custody
In the state of Florida, laws have changed regarding child custody agreements, now known as parenting plans. Parties must submit a parenting plan which provides for designation of roles between parents and time sharing. Parents are required to collaborate in the raising of their children.
Developing an Appropriate Parenting Plan
Parenting, or time sharing, plans establish the time children will spend with each parent and each parent's responsibility for decision making and child support. In creating a plan, you need to think about what you are looking for to be in the best position to negotiate. You need to be mindful of your former relationship with your spouse and the new co-parenting relationship you are about to enter into. All in all, maintaining what is best for the children should be everyone's primary focus.
Offering a Helping Hand
At our law office, Attorney Wendy Doyle will work with you to set goals that maintain your children's well-being. As a single parent herself, she understands the challenges you will be facing and compassionately guides you through difficult decision making. She will stand by your side throughout negotiation, mediation and litigation matters relating to your time with your children.
In some cases, Ms. Doyle consults a team of experts to ensure suitable choices are being made. These advisors can include mental health professionals or parenting facilitators, especially in high-conflict circumstances.
