Understanding Florida Parenting Plans and Timesharing Agreements
Recent changes in Florida family law mean that divorce lawyers and their clients need to get used to new terminology on the range of legal and practical issues formerly known as child custody and visitation. Parenting plan and timesharing are the new terms for the decisions that divorcing parents need to make about primary residence, legal custody and the noncustodial parent's right to regular access to the children.

Most parenting plan and timesharing disputes are worked out through negotiation or mediation, but it is sometimes necessary to take a case to court. It's essential to understand that Florida judges resolve disputes between parents according to the best interests of the children involved, not the preferences or convenience of the parents. You should also know that Florida law presumes that a substantial and stable relationship with both parents is presumed to be in each child's best interests.
