FAQ
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.
Generally, in most US states, including California, you don't need a lawyer to start a custody case. This is because you have the right of self-representation in court. You may agree if you and your ex-partner are willing to work out your differences. You can do this by going to a mediation service.
(b) Abandonment as defined in s. 39.01(1) or when the identity or location of the parent or parents is unknown and cannot be ascertained by diligent search within 60 days.
Generally, Florida courts are hesitant to allow a parent to voluntarily terminate their parental rights except for in situations where there is another adult ready to adopt the child. Without a potential adoptive parent, it is unlikely that an individual will be able to terminate their parental rights voluntarily.

A new law went into effect on July 1, 2023. The law creates a revised procedure for unwed fathers to establish paternity, child support, and visitation. The result is that unwed fathers can now establish parental rights that were previously the exclusive domain of the mother.
Florida law generally prefers that both parents participate in raising children. Thus, courts will usually grant each parent time with their children. It is rare for either parent to get sole custody in Florida.
In Florida, refusing to allow the child to spend time with the other parent as scheduled in the court-ordered timesharing plan is contempt of court and can result in arrest.
The new law establishes a rebuttable presumption that equal timesharing (50/50 custody) is in the best interest of the child.
A new Florida law, HB 3, will take effect on Jan. 1. It restricts social media access for children under 14 and requires parental consent for those aged 14 and 15. The law aims to block some teens from certain websites and require age verification on sites that could be harmful to children.
