Ocala, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: I guess im confused about overnights

To me this read as we both have to agree & when agreed on a day to replace for one of the days already scheduled. It reads as follow.

" Father shall visit at mother's house Tuesday and Thursday from 4PM to 8PM Father's shall visit with his son from 9 AM to 6PM on Sundays. After the child is one year old the parties shall agree on a one overnight visit for the father which shall not be less than 16 consecutive hours. The overnight visit shall be in addition or as a repayment of the other visitation previously described."

So if we can't come into an agreement, what happens? Do I have until before he is 2 years old for that one day?

A: If you can't agree, you need to ask the court to decide. As I read it, the "agree to agree" part applies after the child is ONE, not TWO.
