What Factors Are Considered in Child Custody Cases?

Florida family courts do not take child custody decisions lightly and there are numerous factors that will need to be considered when determining custody of minor children. There are generally two types of custody that are granted to parents: Time-sharing responsibilities and parental responsibility. Most judges will try to equally share the responsibility and time between the two parents unless there is a major discrepancy that would deem one parent unsafe or unfit for a child.

Most factors that will be taken into consideration when determining custody include:

  • The stability of a parent’s income, job, and home environment
  • Each parent’s history of abuse, violence, or neglect, if applicable
  • The ability of each parent to adhere to a visitation schedule
  • The mental and physical health and capabilities of the parents
  • If the child is older than 12, the wishes of the child may be taken into consideration
  • The parent’s involvement with school, hobbies, and care of the child

People are quick to assume that custody will automatically be granted to the mother. However, this is not true, and we are committed to aggressively fighting for the rights of fathers and husbands whose parent-child relationships are at stake in a custody battle. Protecting your child’s safety and best interests is our number-one priority.

How Can A Child Custody Attorney Help?

Here are some ways that a child custody attorney will be able to help you:

  • A child custody attorney can assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case and create a strategic plan for achieving fair custody.
  • They can gather necessary evidence, such as documenting parental involvement or any history of abuse or neglect.
  • They can negotiate with the other parent or their attorney to come to an agreement outside of court.
  • They can represent you in court and advocate for your rights as a parent.

Keeping the Best Interests of the Child in Mind

Courts will always look at the best interests of the child and make the decision for custody based on what situation would benefit them the greatest. Along with child custody agreements, many men find that they are now facing visitation and child support arrangements as well. Alers Law Firm is equipped to help with those cases too.
