Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Custody Lawyers
The particulars of the child custody (time-sharing) order in your Florida divorce will depend on many factors, including the following:
- The best interests of the children, first and foremost
- The ages of the children
- Work schedules of each parent
Today's child support and child custody laws are structured with an assumption that shared custody will be beneficial for many children of divorce. Thus, if a noncustodial parent has overnights for more than 146 nights a year, child support will be greatly reduced.

Attorney Washor is prepared to safeguard your parental rights whether you are the primary or secondary custodial parent. Time-sharing may consist of every other weekend with each parent plus one night a week for dinner for the secondary custodial parent, plus half the summer and half of winter and spring vacations for each parent.
When children of divorce are teenagers, such rigidly structured guidelines may be difficult to implement, particularly when teenage children of a divorce have jobs, cars and friends in one area and do not want to go back and forth between the parents so frequently.
