Florida Time-Sharing Specialist
Visitation, now called time-sharing, is an important issue for most parents involved in a divorce. Even if you don't want to see your spouse any more, working out the timesharing is a huge issue and now involves paternity plans.
As a Miami-Dade and Broward County, Florida, attorney with 25 years of experience, practicing 100 percent family law, I can help with your time-sharing dispute. Since 1993, I have been a Board Certified Specialist in Family and Marital Law. My law firm will do everything possible to make sure you get the time-sharing you want.
Changes in the Law
Chapter 61 of Florida Statutes has made the following important changes in the law with regard to custody and visitation:
- "Time-sharing" is the new term for "visitation."
- The terms "custody," "primary residential parent" and "secondary residential parent" have been eliminated, leaving more room for creative, diverse time-sharing/visitation solutions that are in the children's best interests.
- Before the divorce trial, usually at the court-ordered pre-trial mediation, a divorcing couple must attempt to work out a parenting plan on their own, detailing the time when the children will be with each parent and providing for the needs of the children.
I am a Board Certified Marital and Family Law Specialist.
As a Certified Family Law Specialist with 25 years of experience as a family law attorney, I can help you negotiate a parenting plan that is equitable, favorable for you and representative of the best interests of the children.
