Custody & Timesharing in Brevard County
Florida courts now use the terms parental responsibility and timesharing in place of “custody.” Shared parenting is assumed unless risks exist. We aid you in constructing parenting plans based on:
- Home stability
- Parental involvement and schedules
- School and extracurricular stability
- History of substance issues or domestic violence
Financial Support: Alimony & Child Support
Alimony is now determined in line with Florida’s 2023 legislative changes, focusing on need and financial ability. Child support is calculated per statutory guidelines, weighing incomes, overnight allocation, and relevant expenses.
Modifications & Enforcement Post-Judgment
Life changes are grounds for post-judgment modifications—whether custody, support, or alimony. We help you apply for changes or enforce existing court orders when necessary.
