Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Child Custody
Shared responsibility is presumed to be in the best interest of a child under Florida law. This presumption can be overcome if a parent can prove that shared parental responsibility is detrimental to a child. This was an issue in the case Mooningham v. Mooningham, 5D22-1800 (Fla. 5th DCA April 28, 2023).

A child’s participation in extracurricular activities is an important consideration in a Florida parenting plan. The cost and time commitment involved in many extracurricular activities can have an impact on a parent’s time-sharing and wallet. This is why it is important that a Florida child custody order contain the appropriate provisions to account for the child’s participation in such activities, and the parent’s obligations regarding the same. This was an issue in the case Malha v. Losciales, 3D19-1957 (Fla. 3d DCA August 19, 2020).
