What can you tell me about 50-50 custody in Florida?

Answer by  Brittney (1095)

50/50 custody is normally called joint custody. This normally means that you both get to spend an equal amount with the children. However what you need to watch out for is who is granted primary custodian. The primary custodian is the one who will be able to get child support, and make decisions about the children.

According to legal laws in Florida, there must be a primary custodian and residential area for the child to stay. 50/50 custody is agreed upon by the parents in which child visitation rights are shared equally.

both parents get equal time with the children. But is hard on children if the parents do not live in close proximity and especially school age children. Most dads want this to avoid paying support or to get a reduction in their child support obligations. hope that this helps. thanks.
