Custody — referred to as “time-sharing” under Florida law — is often the most emotionally difficult part of a divorce or family law case. Attorney Patrick Thompson helps parents throughout Lake Mary, Sanford, and Central Florida build parenting plans that protect their relationship with their children.
Our Approach to Time-Sharing
We start from a presumption of 50/50 time-sharing, but the best interests of the child are always paramount. Every family is different, and we tailor our strategy to what will actually work for your children and your circumstances.
Parental Relocation
If you need to relocate with your children, or a co-parent is seeking to relocate, Florida law has specific requirements that must be followed. We guide parents through the relocation process on both sides of the issue.
Paternity
We handle paternity actions to establish legal parentage, custody, time-sharing, and support rights for unmarried parents.
Difficult Custody Cases
We’ve handled a number of particularly difficult custody cases over the years. Given how sensitive these matters are, we’re careful about what we discuss publicly — but we’re glad to talk through the specifics of your situation in a free consultation.
