TIME-SHARING PLAN MODIFICATION

Child time-sharing plans dictate the amount of time you get to spend with your child and responsibility in making important decisions on their behalf. Once a court order is put in place, both parents are required to follow it. However, there are situations in which changes may be in order. Since 1988, the Law Offices of Mark G. Rodriguez, P.A. has acted as a strong legal advocate for parents in these types of matters. You can count on our experienced Tampa child time-sharing attorney to provide the professional representation you need in requesting a time-sharing plan modification.

In cases where parents are divorced or unmarried and living apart from one another, child time-sharing plans help ensure both continue to play an active and engaged role in their child’s life. Under section 61.13 of the Florida Statutes, various factors are considered in making these plans, including each parent’s relationship with the child, their proven ability to meet the child’s needs, and their willingness to cooperate with the other party in implementing parenting plans.

Based on these factors, a final child time-sharing order will be issued, dictating the following:

• Rights regarding custody during the week and overnight visitation on weekends;
• Rights to extended visits over holidays, school breaks, and other special occasions;
• Pick-up and drop-off arrangements for the child;
• Parental responsibility in making decisions on the child’s behalf pertaining to their education, religious upbringing, and other important matters.
  

At the Law Offices of Mark G. Rodriguez, P.A., we provide the trusted legal guidance you need in making these arrangements. If problems arise once a final order is issued, our Tampa child time-sharing attorney can assist you in requesting modifications.

Once a child time-sharing order is put in place, you are legally required to follow it. Not doing so could jeopardize your rights as a parent. If changes need to be made, the Law Offices of Mark G. Rodriguez, P.A. can help guide you in the process through the Hillsborough Family Court.

As an experienced Tampa child time-sharing attorney, we can request modifications of your original order in the following situations:

• When one parent refuses to comply with the existing child time-sharing plan;
• When you or the other parent relocates to another area;
• When the child’s individual needs warrant making changes;
• When the other parent’s actions put the child’s safety and well-being at risk.
