How custody works in Florida
Florida replaced 'custody' with 'time-sharing' and requires parenting plans that detail how parents will share daily responsibilities.
Florida requires a Parenting Plan in every custody case, detailing time-sharing schedules, decision-making authority, and communication methods. Parents must complete a Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course before finalization. Mediation is mandatory before trial in most circuits. The plan must address holidays, school breaks, and transportation logistics.
Cases from Tampa are filed in Hillsborough County and heard in the Hillsborough County Circuit Court, Family Law Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Florida. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
