Parental Responsibility and Time Sharing Under State Law
In this state, parenting issues are governed by Florida Statutes § 61.13, and the terms parental responsibility and time-sharing are used instead of custody or visitation. Parental responsibility concerns major decisions related to education, health care, and general welfare, while time sharing sets out the schedule for a child’s time between homes.
The court begins with the expectation that shared parental responsibility benefits the child unless evidence shows that shared decision-making would be harmful. If you are trying to understand how a parenting plan will be structured in Nocatee, our child custody lawyer can help you evaluate what a judge may consider and prepare the necessary materials to support your position. This guidance could be especially important when addressing child custody issues that affect daily routines and long–term stability.
