& Lawyer, providing experienced Child Custody,

Child
custody issues typically arise when a marriage is

family law modifications are sought be either parent.
If the parents of the
child, or children are not able to successfully resolve
child custody and visitation issues through mediation or
other attempts at amicably resolving child related
issues, the court will render it's decisions based in
accordance with Florida law,
Uniform Child Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act,
and what is in the best interest of the child, or
children.

in Orlando

During
child custody proceedings, the court will consider
various factors to determine what is in the best
interest and welfare of the child, including, but may
not be limited to:
The
emotional ties existing between the parents and the
child;
Each
parents mental and physical health;
The
moral lifestyle of each parent;
Each
parents ability to provide for the child's needs on
a daily basis.
Which
parent is more likely to conform to court orders by
allowing contact between the child and the parent
which does not have primary residential care.
When the
primary custodial parent wants to move 50 miles or more,
or out of State, child custody and visitation issues may
be even more complicated. One of the purposes of
Florida's Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and
Enforcement Act is to address and deter child custody
controversy and to promote cooperation between States to
ensure child custody and visitation proceedings are
conducted in the home state of record for the child.
Removing a child to another State temporarily or
permanently without the courts authorization may be
considered parental kidnapping or a violation of other
Florida Laws.
If either
parties financial standing or other relevant factors
significantly change, either party may petition the
court to seek a modification of the standing child
custody court order. This is considered a post judgment
child custody, or visitation modification.
A
modification regarding court ordered child custody or
visitation may also be negotiated through mediation, and
if agreed upon by both parties, the child custody -
visitation modification must still be made official by
asking the court to agree and sign-off on the child
custody - visitation modification agreement.
