How Florida child custody and time-sharing work

Florida uses time-sharing and parental responsibility rather than “sole” or “joint custody.” Courts decide based on the child’s best interests, looking at each parent’s capacity to meet needs, encourage a relationship with the other parent, and maintain stability. RAM Law and Title, PLLC prepares the facts, organizes supporting evidence, and presents a practical plan that fits your family’s routine across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, from Coral Gables and South Miami down to the nearby schools and activities. When your case is part of a larger matter, we align strategy with your broader family law needs.

Creating a parenting plan that works

We draft clear schedules, holiday rotations, transportation details, decision-making authority, and communication rules. Expect guidance that fits your child's school calendar and activities, with contingencies for travel and healthcare. Clear, workable plans reduce conflict and help judges approve agreements without delay.

Fighting for your parental rights

Whether you seek majority time or a fair share, we advocate in negotiations, mediation, and trial. We address relocation requests, parental responsibility, and supervised time when appropriate, always focused on your child’s well-being and your role in daily life. If support is also at issue, we coordinate with calculations under child support guidelines so the financial picture matches the schedule.

Modifications and enforcement

Life changes, like job shifts, new schools, or significant moves, can justify modifying time-sharing or decision-making. If the other parent isn’t following orders, we pursue enforcement or contempt remedies. When custody arises during divorce, we integrate with divorce in Coral Gables strategy to keep filings efficient and consistent.
