Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Panama City
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts decide custody — legally called “time-sharing” — based on the best interests of the child, not the preferences of either parent. Judges weigh factors like each parent’s ability to provide a stable home, the child’s relationship with each parent, and any history of domestic violence. Our attorneys help clients build a parenting plan that reflects both the law and their family’s real situation, and we work to keep the process as cooperative as possible so children aren’t caught in the middle of ongoing conflict. We also help clients understand how time-sharing arrangements may need to adapt as children grow and circumstances change.
What’s the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on every major issue — property division, custody, and support — and can move through the process quickly and affordably. A contested divorce involves disagreement on one or more of these issues and typically requires negotiation, mediation, or litigation under Florida’s dissolution of marriage statutes. Our firm handles both, and always starts by exploring whether a faster, less contentious path is possible.
