Parenting plans and time-sharing schedules built around your children’s well-being and the realities of your week — not boilerplate templates.
Florida requires a written parenting plan in every case involving minor children. We draft yours around how your family actually lives — school days, holidays, activities, travel, and the small daily details that matter most to your kids. Not a template. Yours.
Time-sharing in Florida replaces the older idea of “custody.” We build schedules that respect both parents’ work, the children’s school and activities, and the practical handoffs in between — including holidays, summer, and unexpected changes.
Jobs change. Children grow. Occasionally a parent needs to move. We handle modifications, relocation petitions, and enforcement matters with the same focus on stability and the child’s best interests that guided the original order.
A few of the things parents ask before reaching out.
No. Florida law does not presume one parent over another based on gender. Courts focus on the best interests of the child and generally favor shared parental responsibility, where both parents stay involved in major decisions.
A parenting plan is a written agreement (or court order) that sets out time-sharing schedules, decision-making responsibilities, communication, and how parents will handle holidays, schooling, healthcare, and exchanges. Florida requires one in every case involving minor children.
Florida courts weigh factors set out in statute, including each parent’s ability to encourage a relationship with the other parent, the child’s home and school stability, the parents’ moral fitness, and the child’s developmental needs. There’s no fixed formula — it’s a fact-specific analysis.
Children don’t get to “pick.” A child’s reasonable preference can be one factor a judge considers, especially as they get older, but it’s never the sole or controlling factor. The court still decides based on the child’s overall best interests.
Florida’s relocation statute requires written agreement of the other parent or court approval before relocating more than 50 miles for 60+ days. Moving without permission can have serious legal consequences. We handle these petitions and responses regularly.
Court orders are enforceable. We file enforcement and contempt actions when a parent withholds time-sharing, refuses to cooperate, or otherwise violates the parenting plan. Documenting the issues carefully is the first step.
Share a few details and Gabrielle will reach out personally — usually within one business day.
