“Sole Parental Responsibility” is defined as “a court-ordered relationship in which one parent makes decisions regarding the minor child.”
Sole parental responsibility presumptively is not in the child’s best interest, given the public policy expressed in F.S. 61.13.
In awarding sole parental responsibility, Florida Statute 61.13(2)(c)2 requires a finding, supported by competent, substantial evidence, that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the child.
Under F.S. 61.13(2)(c)2, the court must consider evidence of domestic violence or spouse abuse as evidence of detriment to the child in determining parental responsibility.
