Determining The Child's Best Interests

As in every state across the country, Florida law says that the deciding factor in a child custody arrangement is the best interest of the child. Ideally, you and the other parent can create your own parenting plan in mediation or a mutually agreed-upon settlement.

As an example, with the guidance of your attorneys, you can set up a legally sound plan that details: who handles which parental tasks, whose address is used in the child's school registration, how you will communicate with your child, etc. However, if you cannot agree on the essential terms of the parenting plan, a court may have to determine the child custody arrangement.

When deciding child custody, Florida courts will consider:

  • The child's health and safety (Is there a history of abuse or neglect?)
  • The child's educational and emotional needs (How involved has each parent been in the child's daily life, school activities, etc.? What is the child's custody preference?)
  • Your ability to co-parent (How well can you and the other parent communicate to one another about your children? Does one parent badmouth the other in front of the kids?)
  • Each parent's character (Did adultery break up the marriage? Is there a history of alcohol or drug abuse? In other words, can a parent's lifestyle harm the child?)

Even though a family court judge will seek to ensure your child's best interests, a court has precious little time to truly understand your child's needs. This is why it is crucial to work with a custody law firm that will take the time to get to know you and your family, thus presenting to the court an accurate, compelling case to safeguard your rights to custody of your child or children.
