Fathers and Time-Sharing in Florida
Florida law does not favor mothers or fathers. Decisions about time-sharing are based on the best interest of the child, and Florida now starts from a rebuttable presumption that equal time-sharing is in the child's best interest. For unmarried fathers, establishing paternity is usually the first step to securing time-sharing and decision-making rights.

How We Help
We help fathers establish paternity when needed, build or adjust a parenting plan, and present their case for meaningful time with their children. We also help fathers with child support questions, whether they are seeking or paying support.
This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice. How these rules apply depends on the details of your situation. Talking with an attorney is the clearest way to understand what they mean for you.
