Parenting Plan Attorney
& Lawyer, providing experienced Parenting Plan,

Orlando and throughout the Central Florida
Area.
In
the State of Florida, the legislature has changed the
terms used in certain child related family law issues.
Terms such as Child Custody, Visitation, Primary
Custodial Parent, and Non-Custodial Parent are now
called Parenting Plan, Shared Parenting, and
Time-Sharing. We are mindful that the general public
will still use the terms they are familiar with,
therefore, we have included a
Child
Custody - Visitation page to our website
which discusses the same issues which are discussed
below.
Parenting Plan and Shared Parenting issues typically
arise when a marriage is ending, when married partners
or unwed parents of a child separate, or after a divorce
when child custody family law modifications are sought
be either parent.
If
the parents of the child, or children are not able to
successfully resolve Parenting Plan and Shared Parenting
issues through mediation or other attempts at amicably
resolving child related issues, the court will render
it's decisions based in accordance with Florida law,
Uniform
Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act,
and what is in the best interest of the child, or
children.
Ronald L Sims, P.A.,
represents the legal rights and goals of those involved
in
parenting plan,
shared parenting,
time-sharing,
divorce, or other family law issues or disputes
in Orlando
and the Central Florida area.

During
Parenting Plan and Shared Parenting
proceedings, the court will consider various factors to
determine what is in the best interest and welfare of
the child, including, but may not be limited to:
The emotional ties
existing between the parents and the child;
Each parents mental
and physical health;
The moral lifestyle of
each parent;
Each parents ability
to provide for the child's needs on a daily basis.
Which parent is more
likely to conform to court orders by allowing
contact between the child and the parent which does
not have primary residential care.
When the parent in which
the child primarily resides wants to move the child 50
miles or more, or out of State, child custody and
visitation issues may be even more complicated. One of
the purposes of Florida's Uniform Child Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act is to address and deter
parenting plan and
shared parenting
controversy and to promote cooperation between States to
ensure child custody and visitation proceedings are
conducted in the home state of record for the child.
Removing a child to
another State temporarily or permanently without the
courts authorization may be considered parental
kidnapping or a violation of other Florida Laws.
If either parties
financial standing or other relevant factors
significantly change, either party may petition the
court to seek a modification of the standing
parenting plan or shared parenting
court order. This is considered a post judgment
parenting plan or shared parenting
modification.
A modification regarding
court ordered parenting plan or shared
parenting may also be
negotiated through mediation, and if agreed upon by both
parties, the parenting plan or shared
parenting
modification must still be made official by asking the
court to agree and sign-off on the parenting
plan or shared parenting
modification agreement.
If you have questions,
concerns, or legal needs regarding parenting plan,
shared parenting, time-sharing, divorce, or other
family law issues, we urge you to seek the legal
advice of an experienced Orlando parenting plan
