In Florida, a judge will typically rule in favor of shared physical custody so that each parent would have the opportunity to spend time with their child on a regular basis. In regard to legal custody, however, it is a parent's ability to make major life decisions that differentiates the two.
Ingly, Broward County has created a system for such relationships, referred to as domestic partnerships, to be registered, amended and terminated.
Legal Process for Filing for Joint Custody The process works as follows: File Your custody petition in the circuit court in the county where you or your child resides. Attempt to reach an agreement with the other parent. If no agreement is reached, enter dispute resolution voluntarily or by court order.
If you and the other parent have reached an agreement, you should file a Parenting Plan, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.995(a) or a Supervised Safety Focused Parenting Plan, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.995(b) which addresses the time-sharing schedule for the child(ren).
While not an official law, many Florida courts institute a “7-year” rule when it comes to the length of the marriage. If the marriage has lasted longer than seven years, it's considered a “long marriage”, while a “short marriage” is one that lasts less than seven years.
