Understanding Child Custody in Florida
In Florida, child custody is referred to as "time-sharing," emphasizing the importance of each parent's involvement in their children's lives. The courts aim for a time-sharing schedule that allows both parents to share the joys and responsibilities of raising their children. At Hamil Scott Law Firm, we guide our clients through the intricacies of Florida’s child custody laws, ensuring they are fully informed and adequately prepared to make decisions that best serve their families.
Key Elements of Child Custody
- Legal Custody: Who makes significant decisions about the child’s life, including education, health, and religion.
- Physical Custody: How the child's time is divided between the parents.
- Best Interest of the Child: The standard that guides all custody decisions, focusing on the child’s welfare.
