Florida Custody Modification: Can Time-sharing Change?

Описание: Can you modify custody or time-sharing in Florida after a court order? Sometimes, yes. If you are in West Palm Beach or Palm Beach County, here is the general rule to keep in mind. In Florida, the court can modify a time-sharing schedule when there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the last order, and the change you are asking for is in the best interests of the child.

Key points to keep in mind:

The court focuses on the child’s well-being, stability, and day-to-day needs.

Evidence matters. Small details can make a big difference in a modification case.

Not every disagreement justifies a change. The change usually needs to be meaningful and lasting.

FAQs
Q: Can time-sharing be modified at any time in Florida?
A: You can ask, but the court generally requires a substantial change in circumstances plus a best-interests finding.

Q: What counts as a “substantial change”?
A: It depends on the facts. Courts usually look for a real change that affects the child or the parenting situation, not a temporary frustration.

If you are considering a custody or time-sharing modification in Palm Beach County, get clear guidance early so you can focus on the facts that matter most.
