Jacksonville Fathers’ Rights Attorney

Visitation Lawyer in Jacksonville, Florida

Resolving parental conflicts regarding the visitation schedule for their child has the potential of being one of the most emotional, heated issues that fathers face when confronted with separation or divorce from the mother of their child. It is preferable that your child will be able to interact with both parents by way of a visitation schedule, which is currently referred to as “ time sharing.”  Jacksonville fathers’ rights lawyer Scott R. Ellerin deals with fathers with compassion and understanding for their right to be involved in the raising of their child, but takes on an aggressive attitude when defending their rights in negotiations or in court.

It is the public policy of Florida to make certain that a child continues to have contact with both his mother and his father after they separate or are divorced; a visitation schedule must be agreed upon for this purpose. The reason for this policy is to encourage a healthier family relationship regardless of the separation by getting the parents to share in duties, benefits and joys that are an inherent part of raising a child. Jacksonville attorney Scott Ellerin can help his clients ensure that this policy is followed.

Or, either parent may have a change in lifestyle due to remarriage, change of career, relocation or other unplanned change if situation that makes it necessary to modify the visitation schedule. In any such case, should a modification to the visitation schedule be needed, it must be done legally through the court, even though all parties may be in agreement.
