Child Custody, Visitation & Relocation in Florida

We Are Parents, Just Like You

Our attorneys at Fried & Fried, P.A., are parents, just like you. We understand that divorce can send children on an emotional roller coaster, so we strive to make custody issues as smooth as possible. The law requires parents to make tough decisions about where a child will live and how often the second parent can spend time with the child.

If you are seeking legal guidance in creating a parenting plan in Southwest Florida, call our Fort Myers law office at 1-888-831-2597 to schedule a consultation. You can also provide us with information about your family's needs through our online form.

Defining the Child's Best Interest

Parents who file for divorce in Florida are required to submit a parenting plan. The state supports custody, visitation and relocation decisions that are in the children's best interest. At Fried and Fried, P.A., our experienced attorneys know how the court defines "best interest" and we work with parents to cooperate, communicate and create the optimal parenting plan for their children. We routinely help our clients in the following areas:

  • Draft parenting plans according to Florida statute
  • Establish child custody
  • Determine child support
  • Seek or prevent relocation with a child
  • Avoid communications that might lead to conflict
  • Attend to the child's emotional needs
  • Address domestic violence issues

  • Enforce or modify current custody and child support orders

We Understand Families

In addition to the child's best interest, at Fried and Fried, P.A., we know it is important to create a parenting plan that works for you. Based on your individual family's unique needs, we develop a plan that considers your employment schedule, the child's extracurricular activities, vacations and any other elements that are important to you.
