Parenting Plans
Do you need help in negotiating a parenting plan?
By far some of the most important and stressful matters that our clients face are those involving their children. Matters involving chilren can be extremely contentious. However, our attorneys believe that children of divorce are the most important issue and that it is important for our clients to maintain family relationships and ongoing cooperation if at all possible.
We take the same approach to parenting plans as the courts do. The best interests of your chilren are our main focus. Our lawyers help clients maintain that focus on the children and work with the other parent if possible to ensure that their well being is paramount. Court is seen as a last resort for negotiating the parenting plan.
However, when negotiations fail, we fight on your behalf to to protect your rights relating to your children.
Protecting Family Relationships
Florida courts have shown a preference for granting equal time with both parents. This is because Florida courts presume that both parents are neccessary in a child's life and as such place an emphasis on maintaining the relationship between both parents and their children. We can be flexible and creative in tailoring a parenting plan where your family's and most importantly your children's needs are met.
When helping you decide matters on the parenting plan, our attorneys will discuss:
- The wishes of both parents
- The child's need to maintain contact with both parents, as well as siblings and extended family
- The wishes of the child, if old enough
- The quality of the child's life at home and school
- The parents' ability to cooperate and not interfere in the child's relationship with his or her other parent
- The physical and mental health of the parents
- Any history of domestic violence
- Any plans to relocate
