Frequently Asked Questions

Florida Family Law FAQ

Common questions about custody, divorce, parenting plans, and family court in Florida.

Timesharing is the legal term Florida uses instead of "visitation." It refers to the specific schedule that determines when each parent has time with their child. Every parenting plan in Florida must include a detailed timesharing schedule.

No. You have the right to represent yourself (pro se) in Florida family court. However, family law cases can be complex. Whether you hire an attorney or go pro se, understanding your rights and the legal process is critical to protecting your interests.

Florida uses statutory guidelines based on both parents' net incomes, the number of overnights each parent has, health insurance costs, daycare costs, and other factors. The court uses a specific formula outlined in Florida Statute §61.30.

Florida courts evaluate parenting plans based on the best interests of the child. Key factors include each parent's ability to provide a stable environment, willingness to facilitate the child's relationship with the other parent, the child's developmental needs, and each parent's involvement in the child's life.

If you want to move at least 50 miles from your current residence for at least 60 consecutive days, you must either get written consent from the other parent or petition the court for permission. Florida Statute §61.13001 governs relocation cases.

To modify an existing parenting plan or child support order in Florida, you generally must prove a substantial and material change in circumstances since the original order. For time-sharing, the change no longer has to be unanticipated; child support modifications keep the older standard. This could include job loss, relocation, a change in the child's needs, or other significant life changes.

Florida requires a minimum 20-day waiting period after filing. An uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 30 days. Contested divorces with custody or property disputes can take 6 months to over a year depending on complexity.

The forms depend on your case type. Common forms include the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, Financial Affidavit, Parenting Plan, and various motions. The Florida Courts website provides approved family law forms. We can help you identify exactly which forms your case requires.

Paternity can be established voluntarily by both parents signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity, or through a court proceeding. Establishing paternity is necessary for an unmarried father to have legal rights including timesharing and parental responsibility.

If a parent violates a court order — such as denying timesharing or failing to pay child support — you can file a Motion for Contempt and Enforcement. The court can impose sanctions including make-up timesharing, attorney's fees, fines, or even jail time for willful violations.
