🎉 Happy Father’s Day: Know Your Parental Rights Under Florida’s New 50/50 Timesharing Law

June is a special time to celebrate the fathers in our lives. Whether you’re a dad yourself or supporting one, Father’s Day is a reminder of the vital role fathers play in the upbringing and well-being of their children. 👨👧👦💙

This year, the celebration carries new significance for Florida fathers. In July 2023, Florida law underwent a major change that directly impacts parental rights. Under the new legislation, courts now operate with a presumption that equal (50/50)

timesharing is in the best interest of the child ⚖. This means that both parents,

including fathers, are presumed to be equally capable of sharing the responsibilities and joys of raising their children. 👨🏾⚖👩🏼⚖

While this presumption is rebuttable—meaning a judge can decide differently if evidence shows equal timesharing is not appropriate—it marks a significant shift toward fairness and shared parenting responsibilities in Florida family law.

However, to take advantage of these you are not married to the child’s fathers may have no enforceable rights
