People Often Ask…

Working out a parenting agreement that covers child custody and visitation can be difficult, especially when there is animosity between parents. Whether you're recently separated and looking to learn the basics of types of custody or you've had an open case for years that needs modifications due to life changes, you can find resources here. FindLaw's Child Custody and Visitation directory contains information about many local Jacksonville, Florida attorneys who can help you through your child custody and visitation case.

Child custody refers to a situation in which a parent (or parents in cases where there is joint legal or physical custody) is charged with the responsibility of raising and protecting their child. During bitter divorce or separation proceedings, or in cases where abuse is alleged to have occurred (either against the child or against a spouse, or both), custody hearings may be brought to court.

Visitation refers to the schedule set out (either mutually by the parents, or by the order of the court) by which the noncustodial parent may be able to see their child. In some cases, there may be zero visitation allowable at the discretion of the custodial parent or the courts, typically in cases of abuse.

Visitation can be supervised or unsupervised, depending on the context of the visitation agreement and schedule, as well as the relationship shared between the custodial parent and the noncustodial parent. Supervised visitation is strictly monitored from a legal perspective, and any violations of agreed-upon or mandated supervision may result in the loss of visitation.

When you contact the Jacksonville law offices of the custody attorneys on this list, they will help you get answers to difficult custody questions such as:

  • How can I get custody of my kids during a divorce?
  • Can I get sole custody of my children?
  • How does joint custody work?
  • Do I have to let my ex-spouse visit the children if I have sole custody?
  • How can I modify an existing custody arrangement?

Whether your case involves a straightforward child custody or visitation rights question or involves complicated issues related to child support, conservatorships, domestic violence, parental rights, grandparents’ rights, or other complex family law situations, this directory will help you find a child custody lawyer in the Jacksonville area to stand by your side.
