Understanding child custody and support in Florida
Florida law uses the terms parental responsibility and time-sharing rather than custody and visitation. A court-approved parenting plan sets out how parents share decisions about their child and the schedule the child spends with each parent.
Florida courts generally order shared parental responsibility unless it would be detrimental to the child. Florida law also presumes that equal time-sharing is in a child's best interests, a presumption a parent can rebut by showing it is not.
These issues may be addressed as part of a divorce or in a separate case between parents. For unmarried parents, paternity is generally established before a court sets time-sharing. Child support is calculated under Florida's guidelines, which consider both parents' incomes along with individual circumstances.
If you already have a court order, changing a parenting plan generally requires showing a substantial and material change in circumstances and that the change is in the child's best interests. A private agreement alone does not change an existing order.
DocDraft helps you get organized and prepare for the process.

Some questions call for more than paperwork. Explore document review and consultation options with a licensed attorney.
12. Security deposit. Landlord will refund the deposit, less deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear1, within 15 days after the lease ends; if Landlord intends to make a claim on the deposit, Landlord will send Tenant written notice of the claim by certified mail, or by e-mail where the law allows, within 30 days.
Does carpet wear from two years of normal living count as damage?
18. Default. If rent is late, Landlord may demand payment by giving Tenant written notice allowing three days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, to pay2; if Tenant does not pay in full within that time, Landlord may end the lease and file an eviction action.
If I pay part of the rent during the three days, does the notice still count?
