Navigating Time-Sharing in Florida with The Law Offices of Julia Best Chase
Expert Legal Representation for Your Family’s Future
In the heart of every family law case in Florida lies a critical component – time-sharing. Time-sharing not only shapes the relationship between parents and their children post-divorce but also sets the tone for the new family dynamic. At The Law Offices of Julia Best Chase, we specialize in navigating the complexities of Florida’s time-sharing laws, ensuring that the best interests of your children and your parental rights are at the forefront of every decision.
Understanding Time-Sharing in Florida
Florida law has evolved to prioritize the child’s best interests, moving away from terms like ‘custody’ and ‘visitation’ to a more inclusive concept of ‘time-sharing’. This approach recognizes the importance of both parents playing an active role in their child’s life. Time-sharing schedules are detailed in a Parenting Plan, which outlines how parents will share and be responsible for the daily tasks associated with upbringing, the time-sharing schedule, and the decision-making authority relating to health care, school, and other activities.

Timesharing
In the course of my 3 year divorce, I have had the opportunity to have working relationships with quite a few law firms in the Tampa Bay area. I have had to go to court so often to defend myself against motions my ex-wife filed that, as a lay person, I probably have more court exposure than some lawyers do. You know you’ve spent too much time in hearings when you’ve gone to the top floor of the court house in downtown Tampa during recesses and you’ve been able to look at all the portraits of all the judges who ever served in Hillsborough County. Some of the lawyers I’ve dealt with were utter scum, some just wanted to suck you dry by keeping the case alive just to get the cash flow going, some were quite good. After my divorce languished in court for over two years with no sign of resolution, I hired Julia Chase and her team. Amazingly, under her guidance, the case finally gained traction and was brought to a very successful conclusion. Julia’s performance in the final divorce hearings was quite impressive to say the least. She completely destroyed the credibility of my ex as well as that of her main witness, it was a pleasure to watch this epic performance. I believe Julia is a former assistant prosecutor, it showed. The final divorce document her team wrote is a master piece of eloquence which vindicated me completely after having been on the receiving end of no less than 22 motions to compel, numerous motions for discovery, requests from forensic accountants, interventions from guardians and psychologists with each accusation crazier than the preceding one over the last three years. The end result is that I won 50% custody for my 10 year old son over continued and persistent objections of my ex-wife. I was also able to get satisfaction over numerous other important issues. After having had such excellent legal help, one tends to rightfully judge quite harshly previous law firms who greatly suffer the comparison to Julia and her team.

Dissolution of Marriage with Children
I was referred to Julia Best Chase while going through a bitter child support/child custody/alimony battle with my ex-wife. Julia was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, and always completely frank and open with me about the realities and possible expectations of the outcome of my case. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, a bedrock of knowledge of family law and I am very satisfied with the representation I received from her and the companionate, professional and effective office staff. When it was time to go to trial she was completely ready for it. Every time I became anxious or nervous she reassured me everything was moving along accordingly and always had kind words for me. She is a tremendously talented divorce trial attorney who genuinely cares about her client’s best interests and in my case my daughters best interest as well.
Thank you so much Julia , you are the BEST!!!
