Pensacola, FL. – Craig Vigodsky, a Pensacola child custody lawyer, has explained some new trends and current procedures in child custody cases. Mr. Vigodsky is determined to inform his community and clients about today’s legal trends and is thankful for the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Vigodsky first describes how child custody in Florida has been redefined in court cases. One example is how Florida has moved away from terms such as child visitation or child custody. Instead, Florida’s courts are using terms such as parenting plans and time sharing. These terms have been changed to reflect a growing number of cases that swing in favor of both parents instead of just one.
“Instead of designating one parent as the custodial parent who takes on the primary childcare and decision-making duties,” Mr. Vigodsky explains, “courts now assume that both parents will retain responsibility for the care of their minor children and that both will participate in making decisions related to their health, welfare, and education.”
The family lawyer in Pensacola also explained what criteria parents are usually evaluated under in parenting plan cases. Parents must show they’re reasonable and responsible enough to abide by the outcomes of the case, fit to be a moral and loving parent, and be financially stable enough to support the child or children.
Mr. Vigodsky then detailed more specific criteria that courts evaluate. One specific factor that is weighed in courts is where both parents live and if that causes a strain on the parenting plan. Others were obvious, such as whether the children will be in a home with substance abuse or personal abuse of any kind. These factors are among the most important in creating a parenting plan. If a parent is deemed unfit due to failing any of this criteria, they will most likely lose their rights to custody.
