Many people have questions about supervised timesharing. Timesharing with your children after separation or divorce is one of the most important issues asked of Divorce and Custody Attorneys in Orlando child custody cases. Frequent and continuing contact with both parents is public policy in Florida. However, there are several statutory factors that a judge will consider when determining the amount of time the children should spend with each parent. The standard a judge must consider is the timesharing arrangement that is in the best interest of the children.
Although termination of parental rights is unfavorably regarded in Florida, there may be circumstances which would necessitate restrictions on timesharing for one parent. This can include supervised timesharing. Supervised timesharing may only be a temporary arrangement. In that case, the goal is to increase the amount of time spent between the parent and child and expand that time to unsupervised timesharing. In extreme cases, where a parent is determined to be unfit, a judge may also order no timesharing at all.
