Child custody lawyer Caryn A. Van Matre knows that clients will need to have a relationship with their children's other parent after divorce. Our goal is to help parents through the divorce process so they can co-parent effectively after divorce.
Changes in the Law — Time Sharing Versus Child Custody
Recently, the Florida legislature made changes to the child custody statutes so that children could be better served. Previously, there used to be standard child custody and visitation that people looked to during a divorce.
Today, parenting time is focused on what works best for each parent's schedule and provides the best continuity in the children's lives. The goal is to foster cooperation between parents right from the very start of the divorce.
Parenting plans can be as detailed as you want them to be. Some plans, in which the parents are able to amicably discuss parenting concerns and compromise in the best interest of he children, are loosely structured based on the principle of shared cooperative parenting. Others are incredibly detailed, down to one parent being a primary medical decision-maker or a primary spiritual decision-maker and more.
