Types of Custody in Florida
Florida law no longer uses the terms “custody” and “visitation.” Instead, courts refer to:

Parental Responsibility
Decision-making authority
shared or sole

Time-Sharing
Physical time the child spends with
each parent
We help clients negotiate and secure
- Equal or majority time-sharing schedules
- Sole parental responsibility in cases involving abuse, neglect, or instability
- Supervised visitation when needed for safety

Modifications and Enforcement
Life changes — and sometimes your custody arrangement must, too. Whether due to relocation, job changes, or concerns about the other parent’s behavior, we assist with:
- Modifying existing parenting plans
- Enforcing court orders when a parent refuses to comply
- Filing emergency motions for immediate intervention
We’ll evaluate your situation and guide your next steps.
