In the State of Florida, the court has the authority to legally render decisions which pertain to the custody of a minor child, as well as visitation and shared parenting plans.

Florida child custody laws provide guidelines for accessing and making decisions regarding the legal and physical care of minor children that are affected by the divorce of a married couple, or unmarried partners that are no longer cohabitating.

The objective of Florida's child custody laws is to act in the best interest of the minor child, while utilizing the guidelines of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.

Unless special circumstances dictate otherwise, the court will typically rule in favor for a parenting plan that ensures a child is able to maintain frequent contact with both parents.

It is not uncommon for child custody issues to be contested by one or both parents. During this time, visitation rights and other parenting plan issues are also negotiated and addressed.

In recent years there has been a dramatic shift in what was once perceived as the mother automatically being granted custody of the children. Father's rights, and the ability for the father of a minor child to be the primary residential parental has taken a turn for "leveling the playing field". While there has been no such agenda by the courts, the courts have simply taken a more detailed look into the dynamic of each child custody case in an effort to rule in favor of what is in the best interest of minor children. There has also been an increase in the number of fathers who aggressively fight for custody of their minor children than in years past, rather than simply conceding custody.

With both mothers and fathers being more active in child custody issues and disputes, it is even more important than ever to choose legal counsel wisely. The child custody attorney, lawyer, or law firm a person chooses to stand up and fight for parental rights may directly impact ability for a parent's voice to be heard as a reasonable and caring parent. The courts decision in child custody, visitation, and parenting plan legal issues will directly affect both parents, all minor children involved, and the way the new family structure function in the future.
