How Child Custody is Determined

Child custody or time-sharing in Florida is determined pursuant the factors contained in Florida statute 61.13. A number of factors come into play to determining custody or time-sharing that will be in a child's best interests. The judge determining your custody case will consider various aspects of a child's well-being when he decides on a time-sharing plan, if the parties themselves are not able to agree on a plan.
