Timesharing & Custody Disputes & Florida Family Law

Much is written about parents who refuse timesharing to their ex, but not much is written about the parent who doesn't show up for their court ordered timesharing.

50/50 Timesharing in Florida Family Law
Time-sharing has come a long way in Florida and most family law judges find that equal timesharing between parents is generally in the best interest of the minor children. Although not presumed, 50/50 timesharing and shared legal custody is looked upon favorably. In most cases, the fostering of a healthy relationship with both parents is beneficial. When conflicts arise, unfortunately the best interest of the children or child diminishes.
There are many parents who seek 50/50 timesharing but, for various reasons they stop showing up or abiding by the parenting plan. Not only does this send children on an emotional roller coaster of uncertainty, but the financial stress on the parent left holding the majority of the responsibility further increases conflict and stability for the children. When unmarried parents establish paternity in Tampa Florida or they are divorced with minor children, commonly a final order for timesharing will be accompanied by an order for child support. The amount of child support is decide in part by the number of overnights or percentage of time with each parent. Although there are other factors that determine child support, this is a major factor.
