How Are Children Shared After Divorce?

After a divorce, child sharing and support continue until the child’s 18th birthday. However, child sharing and support may extend beyond the child’s 18th birthday by agreement of both parents. Additionally, a court may extend child sharing and support if the child is still in high school and will graduate before turning 19 years old, or has a mental or physical incapacity.

The parents may establish a plan for parental responsibility through a Marital Settlement Agreement or through a court-ordered plan. Florida law tries to promote frequent and continuing contact of the child with both parents. There is no presumption for or against either parent.

Does A Party Waive Its Right To Arbitration By Filing A Counterclaim?

In situations where a written contract provides the parties with the right to arbitration and one party files a lawsuit against the other party, the question that arises is whether the responding party can invoke its contractual right to have the issue resolved by arbitration? Keeping in mind the rules of procedure which may require the responding party to also file a counterclaim and the fact that the responding party will possibly waive its right to arbitration by participating in the litigation, the outstanding question is, “Does A Party Waive Its Right To Arbitration By Filing A Counterclaim?”

Understanding Child Support

Florida law states that both parents are legally obligated to provide support for their minor child/children. Child support payment is considered a right of the child not the parent. The purpose of child support is to meet the the child’s basic needs for food, clothing and shelter, as well as to allow the child/children to share in the wealth and good fortune of their parents.

In a dissolution of marriage or paternity action, child support is calculated pursuant to guidelines set forth in the child support laws in Florida. The child support guidelines are also used for actions to modify the amount of child support.

Can You Expedite A Child Custody Appeal?

Child custody decisions in Florida are made at the time of divorce, based on the information available to the courts. But what if the circumstances have changed since the time of the divorce? In such instances, you may seek to appeal a prior child custody decision.

Appealing a prior ruling as to the custody of your child is something that you can take up with your local county’s court of appeals. Sometimes, however, you may have reasons to seek an expedited decision. It may be that your child is no longer in a safe living situation, or it may be that there is another issue that needs quick resolution.

Why You Should Hire An Attorney When Getting A Divorce

For many families in Florida, a divorce seems like a personal matter that should be resolved between spouses. However, there is a lot at risk during a divorce, including your property, children and even your ability to keep your home.

We at Max Factor Law have seen many divorces end with one spouse in a bad position compared to the other. This sometimes results from one spouse not being prepared to deal with the process in court or not filing the correct paperwork.

Even if you think you are the one most fit to raise your children, the court may not see things the same way. The way you present yourself..

Important Steps When Preparing For Divorce

If you are planning to end your marriage, there are several things you may do before filing the papers in Florida to help the entire process go smoothly. Divorce is often an emotional situation, and you may experience feelings ranging from sadness to relief. You may also worry about what your life after divorce will look like. Making preparations for the financial and lifestyle changes that may come after your divorce may help reduce stress and anxiety.

For many individuals, going through a divorce involves preparing to return to life as a single person. For example, if you changed your name when you got married, you may want to go back to using your former name after your marriage ends. The Florida Bar indicates that state law allows you to restore your former name when you divorce. To do so, you must request the name change on your divorce petition. In most cases, going back to the name you used immediately prior to your marriage is fairly simple, but changing your name to something new may require you to complete additional legal steps.

What Happens If I Take My Child Out-Of-State After My Divorce?

Both parents usually have visitation rights following divorce or separation in Florida. Taking your child out of state without the permission of the other parent can result in a kidnapping charge. The situation may be different if you plan to move out of state or simply are going on vacation.

According to Legal Beagle, the terms of your divorce agreement determine whether or not you require the other parent’s permission to take your child out of state. Short periods of time are generally acceptable unless there is a written order or agreement indicating otherwise. However, if there is a court order or agreement with stipulations on your child’s location, you need to get the other parent’s consent. Obtaining permission prior to travel can help you stay in compliance with your court agreement.

Changing Child Custody Agreements Around The Holidays

With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, you and your ex-spouse may both have holiday arrangements on your mind. Though you both may have agreed on a holiday custody arrangement, do not be surprised if your ex makes a last-minute request — or if you find yourself wanting to do the same. If you or your former spouse want to go against your Florida child custody agreement, what steps can you take to ensure everyone is happy this holiday season, and how can you make the changes without creating unnecessary conflict?

In an ideal situation, you and your former spouse want what is best for your child or children. With this shared goal in mind, you can work together to draft an informal custody modification agreement.
