Time Sharing Guidelines

Understanding the Best Interests of the Child

When it comes to Child Custody, often called Time Sharing in Florida, the law puts the best interests of the child as the primary consideration in all custody matters. The determination of the best interests of the child is made by evaluating all of the factors affecting the welfare and best interests of the minor children while also taking into consideration the circumstances of the family. The law does favor shared time sharing (50/50), however there are twenty (20) factors under the Statute that can be argued to the Courts, giving them broad discretion to evaluate the specific circumstances put forth before them to consider another arrangement other than the 50/50 timesharing. At the Law Offices of Melissa Waldinger we will argue in your favor for the 50/50 timesharing arrangement or for the current arrangement you want for your family and for the best interests of your minor children.
