✨ Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities ✨
At Maney Family Law, we believe every parent deserves the opportunity to raise and love their children — regardless of physical or cognitive differences.
In Florida, parents with disabilities have important legal rights when it comes to custody, visitation, and parenting plans. Courts cannot discriminate solely because of a disability (Florida Statute §61.13). Instead, the focus remains on the best interests of the child and whether reasonable accommodations can be made so you can safely and meaningfully parent.
If you or your co-parent have a disability and you’re navigating divorce, custody modifications, or time-sharing concerns, know this:
✔️ You have the right to request accommodations (ramps, sign-language interpreters, modified visitation exchanges, etc.)
✔️ A disability alone is NOT grounds to deny custody or visitation in Florida
✔️ With the right legal strategy, many parents successfully secure 50/50 time-sharing or primary custody
You are not “less” of a parent — you are exactly the parent your child needs. We’re here to protect your rights and help you build the parenting plan that works for YOUR family.
