Child Custody (Parenting Plans)

Tampa Child Custody Attorney

A Highly Qualified Expert in Marital and Family Law can Provide Important Legal Guidance

With all of the emotionally sensitive issues and the changes in daily life, a divorce will affect your relationships with your children.  Fortunately, the State of Florida is progressive regarding custody issues very well.  Rather than focusing on words like “custody” and “visitation,” which invite contention by turning your relationship with your child into a battle that you could win or lose, Florida law uses terms such as “time-sharing schedule” and “parenting plan.”  These concepts offer both parents an opportunity to participate more fully in their children’s lives.

As a father of two young children myself, I know that you value your relationship with your child and want to minimize the emotional damage that divorce may bring.  In most cases, Florida law requires a parenting plan that will help you preserve your relationship with your children and be a full and active part of their lives.  As an experienced, board-certified attorney, I can help.

As a former prosecutor with strong negotiation skills, I can help you settle a good parenting plan that will preserve your relationship with your children and protect your rights as a parent.  I offer legal services to help you with parenting plans, child support, modifications to divorce decrees, and more.    Contact me for a free case evaluation today.
