Palm Beach Gardens, FL – June 2025 – As custody cases continue to rise throughout Florida, Gisondo Law is raising awareness about the critical role of parenting plans in securing a child’s well-being after separation or divorce. Designed to promote structure and reduce conflict, parenting plans are not only required by law, but they also serve as a vital roadmap for co-parenting success.

Florida courts mandate that all custody arrangements include a formal parenting plan. These documents define how parents will share time, responsibilities, and major decisions affecting the child’s life.

A Court-Mandated Tool for Co-Parenting Stability

Attorney Grant Gisondo, founder of Gisondo Law, explains, “Too often, parents focus on winning custody when they should be focusing on how to build a healthy framework for raising their children post-divorce. Parenting plans aren’t just paperwork—they’re a safeguard for a child’s emotional and developmental needs.”

What Parenting Plans Typically Include:
• A detailed time-sharing schedule
• Decision-making responsibilities for education, health care, and religion
• Communication guidelines for parents and children
• Transportation arrangements for custody exchanges
• Provisions for travel, holidays, and relocation

Whether negotiated collaboratively or decided by a judge, a well-structured parenting plan can minimize disputes, reduce court involvement, and help children adjust more easily.

Florida Law Prioritizes the Child’s Best Interests

Under Florida Statutes, judges evaluate parenting plans based on what will best support the child’s long-term welfare. Courts may modify plans if there’s a significant change in circumstances or if one parent repeatedly fails to comply.

Gisondo Law helps clients in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, St. Lucie, Martin, Hillsborough, and Orange Counties create legally sound, personalized parenting plans that stand up in court and prioritize the child’s needs.
