Child Custody Florida
Divorce Doctors can help you with Florida Child Custody Laws and all issues of your Divorce.
With Florida child custody, the outcome is determined by what is in the best interest of the child or children. Florida child custody law allows for either parent to be granted custody, but only where it is best for the children for that parent to have custody.
In a traditional courtroom setting, child custody would be determined by a judge who would hear evidence at trial on the issues of children and custody. After all of the evidence was heard, the judge would make a decision as to custody. The court would also have to decide other issues related to the children such as child support. Once a court hears a dispute and issues a final order, the parties have few choices and must abide by the order. If a party disobeys a court order, they can be punished by the court for their disobedience.

Florida child custody law provides for several different approaches to the issue of custody.
- Sole custody or responsibility: Florida child custody law defines this arrangement as one where the children live with one parent who makes all decisions concerning the children. In this situation the other parent would have only visitation rights.
- Joint custody or joint responsibility: Florida child custody law defines this arrangement as one where each parent shares in parental responsibility for the children. The parties would also typically have more time with their children, perhaps even equal time.
- Rotating custody or responsibility: Florida child custody law allows for this hybrid approach to custody by having the ultimate responsibility for all things related to children rotate. In short, Florida child custody laws allow for the privilege of parental responsibility to change back and forth between parents under this arrangement. However, this is not a standard arrangement for custody.
In any of these situations, the court would make the decision based upon what it perceives as the best interest of the children.
