Timesharing and Parenting Plans
Timesharing and parenting plans provide structure for families after separation or divorce. A well-prepared plan outlines living arrangements, school schedules, holidays, and decision-making responsibilities. We guide parents through this process with compassion, ensuring that the child’s best interests remain the priority. Our attorneys work to reduce conflict while building agreements that foster stability and cooperation.
Understanding Parental Responsibility
Parental responsibility in Florida means making important decisions about a child’s life. Courts generally favor shared parental responsibility, where both parents participate in choices about education, healthcare, and activities. Sole responsibility may be awarded only when one parent cannot act in the child’s best interests. We help parents understand their rights and build strong cases that protect both children and parental roles.
Custody Orders and Modifications
Life circumstances often change after custody arrangements are made. Florida law allows modifications when substantial changes occur, such as a new job, relocation, or health concerns. We guide parents through the process of requesting modifications that reflect current needs. Our attorneys also assist with enforcement when one parent fails to follow the court order, protecting both the child’s stability and the parent’s rights.
Custody Disputes in Family Court
When parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, disputes may end up in family court. These cases require strong advocacy and careful presentation of evidence. We represent parents in contested custody matters, always prioritizing the child’s best interests. Our attorneys provide clear strategies and determined representation throughout the litigation process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Child Custody
Do Coral Springs custody cases go through the Broward County Courthouse?
Yes. Most custody and timesharing cases for Coral Springs residents are handled at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, which serves the entire county.
Can a custody order be changed if one parent moves out of Coral Springs?
Yes. If a parent relocates, especially more than 50 miles away, the court may allow modifications to the custody order to ensure the child’s best interests are met.
What happens if the other parent does not follow our parenting plan?
If a parent violates the court-approved plan, enforcement actions can be filed. Our attorneys help parents take steps to protect their rights and the child’s stability.
Does the court usually give one parent primary custody?
Florida law no longer uses the term “custody” but focuses on timesharing. The courts generally encourage shared responsibility, unless one parent cannot act in the child’s best interests.
How long does it take to finalize a custody case in Coral Springs?
The timeline depends on whether the case is uncontested or requires litigation. Some agreements can be reached quickly, while contested custody disputes may take several months.
