Time Sharing and Parenting Plans
At The Law Office of Chaye R. Smith, PLLC, we recognize that matters involving children are often the most sensitive aspects of family law cases. Whether you're dealing with timesharing arrangements in a divorce, paternity case, or modification action, we understand your concerns as a parent.
Florida law requires parents to create a Parenting Plan under Florida Statutes §61.13 that addresses how issues affecting minor or dependent children will be handled. As your legal team, we will help you develop a plan that considers:
-
The unique needs of your children
-
Practical arrangements for timesharing
-
Communication between parents
-
Decision-making responsibilities​
We approach these cases with sensitivity, knowing that emotions can run high when children are involved. When necessary, we can connect you with appropriate resources such as mental health professionals or discuss when a Guardian Ad Litem might be helpful in representing your child's interests.
Our goal is to reduce your stress during this challenging time while working toward arrangements that support your children's wellbeing. We'll guide you through each step of the process, helping you understand your options and the potential outcomes of different approaches.
