Time Sharing and Parenting Plans
Since October 2008, Florida law requires Parenting Plans for all divorcing couples with children. A Parental Plan defines when the child or children will be with each parent, as well as each parent's responsibility for the child relating to such issues as education, health, welfare of the child(ren). Most often the court awards shared parental responsibility. Florida law has a strong public policy to keep both parents in frequent and continuing contact with their children after divorce. Every parent has the right to see their child - or more specifically, every child has a right to visit with each parent.
Some Florida courts currently have "model schedules" for time sharing. You will want to read some model schedules, even if the model schedule for your area is not appropriate for your family, you may decide that the model plan can be re-worked for your family. Areas that are covered by time sharing plans are e.g.:Communications - between the parents, between parent and child(ren)
Transitions - Pick up and Drop Off
Holidays and Special Occasions - including e.g. school holidays
Transfer of Belongings - Will toys, clothes, backpacks and other property of the children transfer between homes (if so, how and when) or will both parents have these items?
Age-appropriate modifications of time-sharing schedules
Notice of Whereabouts - When and how does information have to be provided to the other parent if the children will not be at the usual location?
