Who will have responsibility for the major decisions in their children’s lives when a couple divorces? This can be an aspect of your divorce that causes a great amount of frustration and conflict. In the majority of cases in Orlando, Florida, this responsibility will be shared by both parents. There are times, however, when this is not the situation.
In rare cases, the court may grant sole parental responsibility to only one parent. The court must determine that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the children. A judge may consider granting sole parental responsibility when one parent is irresponsible, neglectful or abusive toward the children or if there is some other reason supported by evidence which would justify sole parental responsibility.
