Child custody

Paternity and Timeshare

Apr 20, 2015

OUTCOME: 50/50 Equal Timesharing

Client came to me with the issue that the mother of his child was not allowing him overnight visitations and arbitrarily allowing daily visitation when she could find no other babysitter. Mom had no v ... alid reason for withholding overnight visitations and regular visitations with my client. Mom argued at trial that my Client should have supervised visitation by making several non-substantiated claims that were disproved at trial. The matter was decided by a judge in Naples, Florida, and my Client was awarded 50/50 timesharing. Because both parents care and support the child equally neither parent would be required to pay child support.

Paternity and Timeshare

Jun 03, 2014

OUTCOME: 50/50 Equal Timesharing

After parties separated, the Mother complained to the DOR that father was not paying support. In fact, the Father was the caregiver of the child for over 50% of the time and providing all of the child' ... s needs. On behalf of Client father we filed a Paternity action and got the DOR matter dismissed. Now the Father enjoys 50% timeshare and mother and father both split all other expenses. Because of the 50/50 timeshare, the parties' comparable incomes, and splitting all expenses, neither party pays the other for child support.
