Determining Florida Child Custody
Determining child custody in the state of Florida is actually a 2 pronged concept- Parental Responsibility and Time Sharing. Parental Responsibility has to do with the decision making authority of each parent regarding the child. Typically this is a 50/50 split, with each parent having equal say in decisions. However, there can be circumstances where one parent is given the authority to make major decisions on their own. There are many reasons this may occur, with the most common being geography.
Time-sharing is how time with the child is split between the two parents. This is determined on a case by case basis. Fairness is a consideration here, but overall it is the best interest of the child that is the determining factor in any custody case.
