Orlando Visitation Rights Attorneys
Resolving Parenting Issues for Mothers & Fathers in Orlando
As a parent, you may disagree with your child’s other parent as to how a parenting plan should be arranged. You may also be a parent who wishes to modify a current parenting plan to reflect substantial changes in circumstances, whether those circumstances are yours or your child’s. Having visitation rights grants you the right to spend time with your child. In Florida’s current terms, this is referred to as parenting time. Arrangements must be decided as a requirement to divorce or when a father has won a paternity case. You may also change a current parenting plan by requesting a modification.
In any of the above situations, getting legal help from a knowledgeable attorney familiar with the parenting plan process is vital. At The Law Office of Paulette Hamilton, P.A., we are well-versed in this matter. Our Orlando visitation rights lawyers can provide the representation you need to work out a parenting plan that works for you, enforce a parenting plan where your rights have been denied, or help you seek modifications to an existing plan.
For legal guidance and representation concerning your visitation rights, contact us at (407) 624-5344.
Florida’s Stance on Visitation Rights
It is generally held in the state of Florida that children should have continuing and frequent contact with both parents. This is considered to be in the best interests of the child unless some reason should advise against it, such as a parent’s history of abuse. In keeping with this policy, the courts require parents to create a plan that allows each parent to have access to the child on a regular and scheduled basis.
At The Law Office of Paulette Hamilton, P.A., we can help you create such a plan so that it meets the needs of both parents and children as well as the court’s requirements.
How Visitation Is Determined
In creating a parenting plan, the courts will look at various factors that can influence how visitation rights should be arranged.
These factors include:
- The child’s preference, if they are mature enough
- The proximity of the two households as well as their proximity to the child’s school or daycare
- How much each parent will encourage the child to have a close relationship with the other parent
- Whether parental responsibility will be shared
- How able each parent is to provide a stable environment and routine for the child
- How involved each parent is with the child’s school and extra-curricular activities
- How important it is to maintain continuity if the child has been in one stable environment
- How likely a parent is to remain in communication with the other parent as to the child’s school, activities, and other issues
Once a parenting plan has been established, if you are denied your legal rights by the other parent, you may need to take legal action. Our firm is here to protect your rights.
On the other hand, you and your child’s parent may make changes to the plan. Modifications are not enforceable unless they are approved by the court. Should you need to relocate, this is another issue that can affect your parenting plan and must be handled through the court.

"Attorney Hamilton is very rational and caring at the same time."Attorney Hamilton provided me with professional, personalized, caring services and was there for me throughout the complexity of my case, which resulted in agreed-upon resolutions. I had the services of 2 other attorneys prior to obtaining the services of Attorney Hamilton. One Attorney for the original dissolution of my 30-year marriage, and another attorney to assist me with the court proceeding for the breaches to the terms of the marriage settlement agreement. Needless to say after 5 years, at times, it almost felt hopeless, until, I obtained the skilled, experienced, professional services of Attorney Hamilton. She was always supportive, focused and again I want to say professional as she represented me throughout this process. Attorney Hamilton is very rational and caring at the same time. What I have learned through this experience is that when it comes complex breaches in interpersonal relationships, no matter how knowledgeable you might think you are; the LAW is the only thing that matters, when it comes to the Family Law System. Attorney Hamilton knows the laws and when she enters a court of law on your behalf; the court system recognizes her knowledge of legal protocol on multiple levels. Attorney Hamilton is the best of the best. I'm forever thankful for her service- Breda

"They make people feel comfortable, they don't judge."First I wanna say thank you to God for being the leader in my case. Since the first day I called to have information, the receptionist had helped me professionally. On the same day, I went there for a consultation, I liked it and would most definitely refer or advise others to go there, too. They make people feel comfortable, they don't judge, very kind, good, and awesome people. They also comfort people when they're down. The good news is you can call anytime if you have any questions. My experience with them so far has been a perfect and unexpected result. They fight for your rights. Go check them out, they always are ready to hear you with no rush. Thank you again, guys, thank you for everything so far because I have no regrets. The receptionist is awesome.- Stanley M.

"Knowledge, honesty, courage, and passion."I have had several lawyers in the past regarding my custody case. Those lawyers lacked the following: knowledge, honesty, courage, and passion regarding my matter. After my experience with previous attorneys, I needed someone who was not going to talk over my head or beat around the bush. I was referred to Ms. Hamilton by a friend that was very satisfied with her legal services. I was very impressed with Ms. Hamilton after my consultation. She was very informative and straight to the point with me. She hit on all the pros and cons for myself and the opposing party. There are no guarantees in life, so I fully appreciate an attorney who keeps it 100% real with me. Ms. Hamilton gave me an outline for my case and the projected costs as well as a timeframe for such a case. There is no such thing as cheap legal services if the services are cheap then the work will be shoddy. I have had that problem in the past and I am no longer going to forego a couple of bucks if it means ruining my case. Ms. Hamilton has reasonable rates with a very professional legal approach. Since Ms. Hamilton has been on my case, she has corrected several errors that my previous attorneys made in the case. My case is going smoothly and we are hoping to be able to work towards an agreement soon! Ms. Hamilton has made that possible in my case. I know how to be a good client, but I am glad that I have someone that knows how to be a good attorney. Thank you Ms. Hamilton!!! If you need an attorney that is straightforward and committed to a resolution then Ms. Hamilton is the attorney for you.- L.B.
