In Florida, the presumption for timesharing (custody) is 50/50 (equal overnights in each parent’s household). A presumption is a conclusion of law that requires the Court to believe, before any evidence, that 50/50 timesharing is in the child’s best interest. Call me to discuss developing a Parenting Plan Agreement that is best for your child. 321-988-1331.
