Child Custody & Visitation

Orlando Child Custody Attorney

Determining child custody and visitation rights is no easy task. Many factors must be taken into consideration-primarily the best interests of your child or children.

At The Law Offices of Wade P. Luther, P.A., we represent mothers and fathers in child custody and visitation proceedings. Mr. Luther is an Orlando child custody attorney who takes every step to simplify what can be a difficult and emotional process.

There is no such thing as a typical custody order. In many cases, the parents will share the important decision making responsibilities regarding a child's welfare-including medical treatment, religion and education. The court will also determine with whom the child will reside. The non-custodial parent has a responsibility to the child and will have continued contact through a visitation schedule.

Early Action Can Make a World of Difference
If you and your spouse separate, it is imperative you establish custody and visitation arrangements as soon as possible and prior to the final divorce. The court will take an existing arrangement into consideration when determining custody and visitation. If the situation you have established seems to benefit everyone involved, the court may simply uphold your arrangement and enter it into the divorce settlement agreement. It should not be assumed that one spouse or the other will have primary custody. In some cases equal sharing may be appropriate, or at least so determined by the court.

If you have recently separated from your spouse, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.

Rotating Custody Agreements
Florida has enacted a law that allows for rotating or shared child custody following a divorce. A rotating custody agreement would allow the child or children to live with each parent on an equal basis, amounting to approximately 6 months a year each. Rotating custody can be a great solution for couples who feel it is important for their children to spend equal time with each parent.

The court will consider many factors before granting rotating custody. Call 407.835.9900 for more information.

Child Custody Modifications
A significant change in circumstances may warrant the modification of an existing child custody order. Call us to learn more about the modification process.
