Florida abandoned the traditional terms of custody in favor of parental responsibility and time-sharing. Florida's custody laws favor both parents remaining active in their children's lives. Therefore, courts prefer to see parenting plans and time-sharing plans that provide equal access for the child with each parent.
Minimum: Minimum custody refers to that class of inmates who are eligible for outside work assignments, but not for placement at a community residential facility.

Close custody inmates must be maintained in a facility with a secure perimeter or with direct supervision outside. Maximum custody refers to inmates who are under a sentence of death.
“Florida's 85% rule, which requires non-violent offenders to serve 85% of their sentence, keeps people in prison longer, leading to an aging prison population and increasing healthcare costs.”
How To Find An Inmate In Florida? In Florida, inmates housed in state-run facilities may be located via the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) website using the Offenders Information Search portal. The FDC collates and provides all records of inmates sentenced on felony charges in the state.
The new law establishes a rebuttable presumption that equal timesharing (50/50 custody) is in the best interest of the child. Unless compelling reasons exist, courts will lean toward equal parenting time.
Since child custody is no longer a term the Florida government uses, parents here technically don't file for custody. Instead, they request orders for a parenting plan, time-sharing schedule and child support by filing a case in family court. This initiates the litigation process.
In Florida, the termination of parental rights can only be enacted through a court order, following a legal process outlined by state law. A petition to terminate parental rights can be filed by a guardian, a state agency, or, in some cases, an individual with a vested interest in the child's welfare.
