Who wins most child custody cases?

Temporary guardianship can be established without court involvement through written agreements or power of attorney, allowing for quick arrangements in emergencies.

What is the meaning of concurrent custody?

Concurrent custody means that an eligible extended family member is awarded custodial rights to care for a child concurrently with the childs parent or parents.

What is the new law on child custody in Florida?

Joint custody arrangements are the most common type of custody agreement. With joint custody, both parents split time with the child. Children travel between each parents homes on a regular, scheduled basis. Time for holidays and special occasions is also divided between each parent.

Can you get temporary custody of a child without going to court?

The new law establishes a rebuttable presumption that equal timesharing (50/50 custody) is in the best interest of the child. Unless compelling reasons exist, courts will lean toward equal parenting time.

What type of custody is best for a child?

Response: 1: Normally, if you have custody of the child, you are not supposed to be paying child support. When he was given the temporary custody, the Court was also supposed to stop his child support payments--the Court was to modify the previous Child Support Order and stop his support payments.
