Florida Legislature no longer recognizes the terms "child custody" or "custody agreements", which have been replaced with "Shared Parenting", "Time Sharing", and "Parenting Plans." Time Sharing refers to the legal guardian status, residency, and caretaking responsibilities of a minor child.

A Parenting Plan is the sum of all child related issues, such as who the child will primarily reside with, visitation arrangements and schedules, the amount of child support to be paid (and by whom), and any other issues relating to the well being of a minor child.

While this has been confusing for many families in addressing issues relating to minor children, for the most part, this is simply a change in official legal terms that the courts use for the same child related issues.
