Understanding Florida Child Custody Laws
In the state of Florida, child custody is legally broken down into two separate components. Parental Responsibility defines the decision making rights regarding education, healthcare, and other major life decisions.
Typically, it is ideal that these decisions would be agreed upon by both parents. While equal authority regarding decision making is best, there are situations in which one parent is given the deciding vote in this type of decision.
Whether or not this would apply to you would be best determined by speaking with a qualified child custody lawyer, like David Hurvitz.
Time Sharing & Physical Custody
The second component is Time Sharing. Time sharing defines how much time each parent physically has with the child or children. There is no usual or normal for time-sharing. It is determined on a case-by-case basis, and typically reflects the schedule of the parents.
The amount of time spent with each parent may also have impacts on Parental Responsibility and support. For example, if one parent has “full custody” of the child, then it would be likely that they would have more responsibility in decision making for the child, as well as receive a higher level of support payment.
