Assertive Child Custody/Time-Sharing Lawyers In Florida
At the Law Offices of Granoff & Kessler, in Miami, we understand that the custody of a child is an emotionally charged and exceptionally delicate matter. That is why our law firm works extensively with each of our Florida clients on an individual basis to ensure that they receive the best possible outcome for themselves and for their children. Our attorneys possess more than 85 years of combined experience, providing proficient legal guidance and strong representation both in and outside of the courtroom.
Navigating Parental Responsibility And Time-Sharing
In Florida, the legal system has transitioned away from the traditional terms of child custody and visitation. The law now focuses on parental responsibility and time-sharing (also referred to as parenting time) to emphasize the child’s best interests. Navigating these nuances in Miami-Dade and Broward counties requires an honest assessment of your family’s needs.
We provide comprehensive advocacy for families facing diverse issues related to custody, including:
- Shared parental responsibility: The modern replacement for legal custody, addressing the right to make major decisions regarding health, education and welfare
- Parenting plan: A comprehensive document required by Florida law that outlines how parents will share daily tasks and decision-making
- Time-sharing schedules: The arrangement formerly known as physical custody, establishing a specific calendar of when the child is with each parent
- Relocation: Legal hurdles and petition requirements when a parent seeks to move more than 50 miles away with the child
- Modifications: The process of adjusting existing court orders when there is a substantial, permanent and unanticipated change in circumstances
- Contempt and enforcement: Legal actions taken to hold a party accountable when they fail to follow the court-ordered parenting schedule
Whether you are establishing an initial agreement or seeking to enforce your rights, our attorneys offer the professional insight necessary to seek the protection of your parental bond.
