Parental Responsibility & Timesharing

In place of “custody,” Florida laws use parental responsibility and timesharing. Courts presume shared parenting unless concerns are shown. We help construct balanced parenting plans prioritizing:

  • School and extracurricular stability
  • Parental involvement
  • Home environment consistency
  • Health and safety concerns

Alimony & Child Support in Orange County

With permanent alimony phased out in 2023, courts now assess support based on need, earning capacity, and relationship length. Child support is calculated per state guidelines with income, timesharing, daycare, and healthcare considered.

Post-Judgment Modifications & Enforcement

If your circumstances change, Florida law allows for modifications or enforcement of existing orders. We assist with:

  • Modifying child support or timesharing
  • Enforcement of court orders
  • Relocation petitions and legal compliance
