Legal Support for Parenting Plans In Florida

I can help you put a strong parenting plan into place.

If you’re going through divorce or separation, you may be facing many crucial decisions with regard to child custody. Florida law requires a parenting plan in every custody case. The plan can be decided by court order or mutual agreement. The parenting plan will be the foundation of your custody and visitation arrangements, and every aspect must be thoughtfully considered.

Parenting Plan Legal Services

I’m Mark Sawicki, a Florida family law attorney with over a decade of experience. I understand the intricacies of custody cases, from the straightforward and amicable to the highly contested and complex. My role is to guide you through your options while protecting your rights and the best interests of your children.

The Role Of A Parenting Plan

A parenting plan is a comprehensive document that outlines how you and your co-parent will share the responsibilities of parenting after a divorce. Its goal is to protect the child’s well-being and promote a stable, loving environment post-divorce.

The plan should include details such as:

  • Parenting time schedules
  • Decision-making authority
  • Division of child-related expenses
  • Methods of communication
  • Schools the children will attend
  • Extracurricular activities
  • Methods of resolving parenting disputes
  • Unique considerations such as long-distance parenting, travel and relocation

When judges craft parenting plans, they consider several factors to ensure they serve the best interests of the child. These factors include each parent’s ability to foster a loving relationship with the child, their mental and physical health, the child’s education and any special needs. Any history of domestic violence or parental alienation is taken very seriously and can significantly influence the court’s decision.

When You Might Need A Parenting Coordinator

In some cases – particularly those where conflict between parents is high – it may be appropriate to involve a court-appointed parenting coordinator. This professional helps mediate between the parents and resolve disputes related to the parenting plan. If you find yourself struggling to reach an agreement with your co-parent, a parenting coordinator could help facilitate better communication and decision-making.

Start Working Toward A Customized Parenting Plan

As a seasoned child custody lawyer, I can help you pursue a parenting plan that maximizes the possibility of court approval and suits the specific needs of your family. I can also advocate for you in court if an agreed-upon parenting plan isn’t possible, making sure your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed. I am here to provide the support and guidance you need as you build the foundation for your children’s future.
