Parenting Plan Attorney in Tampa Florida
Clearwater Visitation Lawyer
Recently, the Florida legislature moved away from establishing child custody and visitation schedules and adopted the concept of forming parenting plans for separating parents. This approach allows parents to discuss issues, such as time spent with the child and primary residence ¾ and work out a solution that fits their needs. It also eliminates the win-lose situation often presented by custody battles.
Tamara K. Holden, P.A., Family Law Offices, helps clients develop parenting plans based on their unique family situation. This firm works with each parent to negotiate solutions that meet their needs and serve the best interests of the children. Please contact us to learn how this firm can help you.
Negotiating Parenting Options
Parenting plans are comprehensive agreements that cover a variety of child custody, child support and visitation issues, including:
- Shared responsibility (joint custody) or sole responsibility (primary custody) of the child: Who will be the primary caregiver for the children? Who will make decisions regarding education and healthcare?
- Time sharing schedules: When will the parents spend time with the children? How much time will each parent receive?
- Means of communication: Will parents and children be able to call, e-mail or otherwise communicate with each other on a regular basis?
- Location of pick-up and drop-off: How will you arrange picking up and dropping off the children?
Deciding these issues amicably can help promote a working relationship between the parents and lessen any emotional stress on the children. In addition, it can significantly reduce the chances of future conflict.
