North Miami Beach, Florida, Child Custody Lawyer
Child Custody • Time Sharing • Visitation Specialist
As a parent, you understand the importance of spending quality time with your child. Your positive influence will help them to grow into successful adults. If you are going through a divorce or other situation that creates agreements which are now known as parenting agreements (Florida Statute Chapter 61) it is important to uphold your right to spend time with your child while maintaining his or her best interests.
At the Florida law offices of Cindy D. Sackrin, I work with families throughout Miami‑Dade and Broward counties to create child custody and visitation agreements which are now known as parenting agreements pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 61. You can rely on my representation and support throughout the process. With a practice that is 100 percent devoted to family law, I know what options are available and am prepared to help you maintain what is best for your child.

Keeping Current with Changes in the Law
Pursuant to the recent changes in Florida Statute Chapter 61, I am prepared to help you and your child's other parent establish a parenting plan that correlates with the recent changes to the Florida shared parenting statute (Ch. 61.13).
The terms Child Custody and Visitation are now being eliminated, and "time sharing" is being substituted in its place. Gone are the labels of primary residential parent and secondary residential parent. All presumptions have been removed. The law now requires that a proposed parenting plan be created and presented to the court when appropriate. Parenting plans must include a time sharing schedule that clearly states the time a child will be with each parent.
The law requires more collaboration and cooperation between parents in creating a plan that is the best interests of their child. If parents cannot agree and do not create a time sharing plan on their own, the court will determine one. If the court determines a custodial plan, there are set factors it must take into account.
Parents in Florida will be empowered to spend less time and money in fighting over labels, thus losing the animosity and hopefully allowing parents to create plans for their children that will allow for success after the break‑up.
Modifications, Enforcement and Relocation
Modification of a custody order requires a substantial change in circumstances. Enforcement comes up when one party is not following the agreed upon court order. Relocation of a parent can cause a major impact on time sharing. Refer to Chapter 61, Florida Statutes for more information.
