Florida courts try to ensure that both parents have frequent contact with a child following separation or divorce. As such, the default time-sharing plan in Florida is 50-50 visitation for each parent, regardless of the child’s age or gender.

Laws and requirements for relocating parents vary by state.

The laws of the state in which you were divorced or, if unmarried, where your child lives will apply.

Every state has laws providing for the termination of parental rights by a court. Termination ends the legal parent-child relationship. Once the relationship has been terminated, the child is legally free to be placed for adoption.
