Helping Clients Throughout Florida With Parenting Plans
Florida law has moved away from the old constructs of child custody and visitation. Instead, a parenting plan is put in place to outline where a child will live, how much time he or she will spend with each parent as well as decision making power.
At Davis & McAlhaney, P.A., we help clients mediate, negotiate and — when necessary — litigate parenting plans in Florida. With more than 10 years of combined family law experience, attorneys Jennifer L. Davis and Emily A. McAlhaney have the knowledge and skills to help you through this process.
Whether you need help developing a parenting plan in a divorce or in a paternity suit, we can help you. Contact our Orlando child custody lawyers online or call us toll free at 888-364-0391 for a free initial consultation.
A Parenting Plan That Is in the Best Interests of Your Child
At our Orange County time-sharing law firm, we represent clients seeking parenting plans that meet their needs and address their concerns, including:
- Time sharing schedules — Visitation schedules that encompass your child's extra-curricular activities, holidays, special needs and your work schedule are important to maintaining a healthy and happy relationship with your family.
- Communication — Determining how to communicate with your child if you are long distance or how to reach your former spouse in an emergency can make parenting issues simpler for you in the future.
- Decision making — Outlining the authority of each parent to decide educational, medical and religious issues can prevent potential disputes down the road.
In order to approve or create this parenting plan, a court will look at what is in the best interests of the child. The court will also examine a number of additional factors such as the health of the parents or the wishes of the child if he or she is old enough.
Changing a Parenting Plan
Parenting plans can be modified if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. If you need to change your parenting plan, or you need help fighting a modification, our attorneys can represent you. We also help clients with parental relocation issues.
