Florida law makers know that the circumstances under which a Parenting Plan or Timesharing Plan was originally developed can change. Therefore, the law does allow for changes or modifications to be made. If both parents agree to the changes, they can work together to reach a new agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the parent who wants to make the changes can file a Supplemental Petition to modify the current plan.
In order for a Petition to be successful, there are several factors the court must consider. Under Florida Law, there must be a substantial, material and unanticipated change in circumstances and the Court must determine that the modification is in the best interests of the child or children.
If you desire a change to your current parenting plan or timesharing plan, you should contact an experienced child custody lawyer to help you through this complicated process. Attorney Wade P. Luther practices exclusively in the areas of family law and divorce. To schedule an initial consultation, please email us or call our office at (407) 835-9900.
