What to Do if You Suspect Abuse

It is important to call your local law enforcement if you are seeing signs of child abuse or neglect. Once a police report has been made law enforcement may advise you to file for a restraining order. However, restraining orders if granted are temporary and they are difficult to navigate especially if you do not have legal counsel. Restraining orders do not modify timesharing or custody.

What to Do About False Reports & Protecting Your Parental Rights

Divorce and child custody matters can initiate high emotions and high conflict. We would like to think the best of everyone but unfortunately there are times when parents become so emotional, they use the children and the courts to threaten the parental rights of the other parent. Emergency child custody hearings are heard in the absence of the parent in question and although the courts take care to ensure that your rights are not infringed upon, it can and does happen. Decisions that a judge makes are temporary relief and a trial will eventually be afforded to you. If you are in a situation like this, it is important to hire a Tampa child custody attorney with extensive experience in Florida Family Law, and specifically child custody and timesharing.
