Clearwater Child Custody and Visitation Lawyers
St. Petersburg Parenting Plans and Time-Sharing Attorneys
In Florida, family law courts have stepped away from the traditional child custody and visitation arrangements, and moved toward parenting plans and time-sharing arrangements. Under this new model, the terms "primary parent" and "primary custody" were eliminated, favoring instead a shared parenting or decision making structure where the children share time with both parents.
The Clearwater child custody and time sharing lawyers of Battaglia, Ross, Dicus & Wein, P.A., have extensive experience helping residents in the Tampa Bay area through divorce and separation. Throughout our 25 years of handling family law issues, we witnessed significant shifts in the courts regarding parenting time. One thing has remained constant, however — our commitment to serving the best interests of the children. Contact us for a consultation.
Putting Your Children First
Our family law attorneys understand the hardship divorce places on parents and children alike. We strive to reduce the contentious nature of splitting households by working with our clients and the other party to negotiate an effective co-parenting plan. Discussing the issue amicably lays the foundation for a solid parenting relationship after the divorce or separation. Children are less likely to feel like property to be fought over, and more like a valued part of the family.
That said, we also understand that sometimes parents cannot work together. In these cases, we assertively represent our clients' interests in the courtroom. If necessary, we will refer families to parent coordinators, guardian ad litems and other family experts to help ensure a fair solution that puts the children first.
Modifications
We facilitate creative parenting plan solutions that are tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of our clients. But, even a well-thought-out plan may not work forever. Contact us to discuss modifying your child custody arrangement.
