Pembroke Pines Parenting Plan Attorney
Florida child custody and visitation laws underwent a significant transition in recent years. The terms child custody and visitation were essentially removed from legislation and replaced with parenting plans, time-sharing and decision-making. At the Law Offices of Jerome P. Ventura, P.A., we stay current in changes in Florida custody laws and offer the experience and skills necessary to help parents in negotiating fair parenting plans that assert their rights and preserve the best interests of their children.
If you are involved in a divorce, child custody or paternity matter and have questions about shared parenting plans, talk with our Broward County, Florida, time-sharing attorney Jerome Ventura. We offer an initial limited consultation free of charge. Contact our South Florida law firm by calling 954-438-2828.
Parenting Plans Created With Experience and Creativity
Primary child custody is usually only granted when there is a significant reason not to follow a shared-parenting model, such as when time-sharing (visitation) might present a safety concern or danger to a child. In all other situations, Florida law now requires a parenting plan in all cases involving minor children. Pembroke Pines parenting plan lawyer Jerome Ventura uses more than 25 years of experience and his solution-oriented approach to effectively negotiate fair parenting plans that address required issues, such as:
- Time-sharing: Not only must parenting plans clearly define time-sharing schedules for during the week and weekends, parenting plans must also outline how holidays, summer vacations and other extended vacations will be handled.
- Decision-making: While time-sharing schedules may make it difficult for both parents to share equally in making day-to-day decisions, each parent has a responsibility to make decisions affecting the child when the child is with that parent. Parents should share in making major decisions, such as important health care decisions, education concerns and other important matters. The parenting plan should outline how such decisions will be handled in the event of disagreement. If parents cannot communicate, a shared decision-making arrangement may not be feasible, or may require substantially more detail.
