Best Child Custody Lawyer in Tampa Florida Gary Dolgin Explains How Timesharing Schedule Is Decided

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

How does a Judge determine a timesharing schedule?

A judge is required to look at Florida Statute 61.13, which has 20 factors which the court is required to consider when making that determination.

Some of those factors include, which parent is most likely to promote frequent and continuing contact between the other parent and the child?

Which parent is able to put the needs of the child over their own personal needs?

Which parent took the major responsibilities in taking care of the child before the divorce?

And how are they going to divide those responsibilities after the divorce?

What is the distance that the parents live from each other?

What is the length of time that the child has lived in a stable and satisfactory environment?

The moral fitness of the parents.

The physical health of the parents.

Which parent is able to keep the child shielded from the litigation?

Those are some of the factors that a court has to consider.

If you have questions regarding any of these factors, or any issues regarding parental responsibility and timesharing, give us a call.

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

In the State of Florida, the supportive relationship statute allows the payor of alimony to have their alimony obligation reduced or terminated if their ex-spouse is in a supportive relationship.

The statute states:

“The court must reduce or terminate an award of support, maintenance, or alimony upon specific written findings by the court that a supportive relationship has existed between the obligee and a person who is not related to the obligee by consanguinity or affinity.”

The burden is on the obligor to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a supportive relationship exists or has existed in the 365 days before the filing of the petition for dissolution of marriage, separate maintenance, or supplemental petition for modification.

If a supportive relationship is proven to exist or to have existed, the burden shifts to the obligee to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the court should not deny or reduce an initial award of support, maintenance, or alimony or reduce or terminate an existing award of support, maintenance, or alimony.

The court shall consider and make written findings of fact regarding all relevant facts and additional factors.

Divorce Lawyer in Tampa Gary Dolgin Explains Alimony Law For Supportive Relationships

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

In this video, divorce lawyer in Tampa, Gary Dolgin explains the Supportive Relationship Statute in Florida regarding alimony.

“Do you have an alimony issue where you’re paying alimony to your former spouse who is living with another individual, and you don’t believe this is fair?

Well, Florida has a statute known as the Supportive Relationship Statute, in which a Judge, after considering many factors, could either reduce or terminate your alimony obligation if your ex-spouse and another individual are involved in what is essentially a relationship in which they are essentially married.

What does a judge look at?

Well, have they acquired property together?

Have they acquired a business together?

Do they have a joint bank account?

Do they support each other financially?

Do they support each other’s children?

Those are just some of the many examples that a Judge would look at in determining whether a supportive relationship exists and whether you may be eligible to have your alimony either reduced or terminated.”
