Your Time With Your Child Matters
When parents separate in Florida, the law recognizes the importance of both maintaining a strong relationship with the child. That’s why child visitation—legally referred to as “time-sharing”—is a key part of every parenting plan. At Greco Law, we help South Florida parents assert their rights and design plans that serve their child’s best interests.
What Does Florida Law Say About Visitation?
Florida courts presume that frequent, continuing contact with both parents is best for the child—unless there’s evidence of abuse or serious dysfunction. Time-sharing is not automatically 50/50, but it should reflect the child’s needs and the practical realities of each parent’s schedule and capacity.
Key Factors That Influence Time-Sharing
The court considers:
- Each parent’s ability to foster a close parent-child relationship
- Work schedules and physical distance between homes
- School and extracurricular commitments
- Parental involvement prior to separation
- Any history of domestic violence or substance abuse
Whether you’re in Boca Raton, Sandalfoot Cove, or Whisper Walk, our team tailors legal strategies to your unique circumstances.
Modifying Visitation Orders
Life changes—sometimes significantly. If your existing parenting plan no longer serves your child’s needs or your ability to parent, Florida law allows for modifications. You’ll need to show a substantial change in circumstances and that the new plan is in the child’s best interest.
Protecting Your Rights as a Parent
Too often, parents are misinformed about their rights or pressured into unfair agreements. At Greco Law, we advocate fiercely for your time and role as a parent—whether you’re going through divorce or seeking changes to an existing order.
