Q: In Florida, under what conditions can I win physical custody of my child from a divorce from my wife?
In FL, they do "timesharing" and I have seen things that say what the courts consider when making those decisions. What i am wanting to know is how can I get enough timesharing that the child lives with me and I am not on child support?
A: In Florida children are shared. That is why it is not "custody" but timesharing. What you are asking about is how to get more time. The answer is by being the best parent that you can and putting your child's best interest ahead of your own. You are going to share the child with the mother until the child is eighteen, one way or another.
