Your Relationship with Your Child Matters.

Our Miami family law team helps parents create fair, enforceable visitation schedules that reflect your child’s needs and your family’s reality.

Fostering bonds, safely & fairly

Being a parent doesn’t end when the relationship does. You still want to tuck your child in, hear about their school day, show up to their games, and guide them through life—even if you’re no longer living under the same roof.

But when your parenting time is in question, inconsistent, or ignored altogether, it hurts.

At Nest Law, we represent parents who want to be present. Whether you’re fighting for fair time-sharing, requesting supervised visits, or trying to hold the other parent accountable, we help you protect the time that matters most: the time with your child.

What Florida Law Says About Time-Sharing

Florida law doesn’t technically use the word “visitation.” Instead, it talks about time-sharing as part of the broader parenting plan. But no matter what you call it, the legal system recognizes that kids do best when they have meaningful, ongoing relationships with both parents—as long as it’s safe.

The court wants to see parents actively involved, and unless there are serious concerns, judges will usually encourage generous time-sharing.

Types of visitation arrangements include:

  • Equal time-sharing (50/50 parenting time)
  • Majority time-sharing with weekends and holidays for the other parent
  • Supervised visitation, often due to safety issues or past conduct
  • Step-up plans, where time gradually increases to full or equal sharing

No two families are the same. And your time-sharing schedule shouldn’t be copy-pasted from someone else’s case.

Common Time-Sharing Problems We Handle

Many of our clients come to us when they’ve hit a wall. Maybe your current schedule isn’t working. Maybe the other parent is gatekeeping your child. Maybe you’ve never even been given a fair shot.

We help resolve issues like:

  • Denied, skipped, or canceled visits
  • A parent refusing to stick to the agreed schedule
  • Unsafe behavior or toxic environments during visitation
  • One parent manipulating the child to reject the other (parental alienation)
  • Requests to increase or decrease parenting time
  • Emergency concerns requiring supervised or restricted visitation

You don’t have to tolerate excuses. You don’t have to tiptoe around conflict. We help you stand up for your rights and show the court what your child needs most: you.

When Supervised Time-Sharing Is Involved

Supervised visitation is a serious matter. Whether you’re the parent asking for it or the one facing the restriction, these cases require careful handling.

Supervised visitation may be ordered when:

  • There is a history of substance abuse or addiction
  • Domestic violence or abuse has occurred
  • Mental health conditions impair parenting judgment
  • The child hasn’t seen the parent in a long time

We help:

  • Present documentation to support your request
  • Push back against exaggerated or false claims
  • Advocate for appropriate supervision terms and duration
  • Revisit the schedule over time if the situation changes

It’s not just about safety. It’s also about dignity, fairness, and rebuilding trust. And we can help with all three.

Can You Get More Time With Your Child?

Absolutely. Parenting plans can be updated when:

  • The original agreement no longer fits your child’s schedule or needs
  • You’ve relocated or changed jobs
  • Your relationship with the child has grown stronger
  • The other parent is interfering or not following the order

We help parents petition for modification of time-sharing and work to build a solid case rooted in the child’s best interest. We also defend against unfair or one-sided modification attempts.

No matter which side you’re on, your child’s wellbeing—and your place in their life—deserves clear, compelling advocacy.

What If the Other Parent Keeps Blocking Your Visits?

If you’re dealing with a parent who constantly:

  • Cancels your visits last-minute
  • Makes your child unavailable
  • Fails to follow the court-ordered schedule
  • Tries to alienate your child from you

…you’re not powerless.

We can help you file a motion to enforce the parenting plan, document the violations, request make-up time, and push for sanctions or a schedule change if the behavior doesn’t stop.

The courts do not look kindly on parents who disrespect time-sharing orders. But you must act. Delay only reinforces the other parent’s behavior.

At Nest Law, we:

  • Listen to what’s working—and what isn’t
  • Build practical, enforceable time-sharing plans
  • Represent parents in enforcement and modification cases

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the other parent keep me from seeing my child?

Not without a court order. If there’s a parenting plan in place, both parents are expected to follow it. Denied time-sharing can lead to enforcement or contempt proceedings.

Can I get visitation rights if I was never married to the other parent?

Yes, but first, you must establish legal paternity. Once paternity is confirmed, you can seek time-sharing rights just like any other parent.

What if my child says they don’t want to visit me?

This is often a red flag, not a verdict. Children may feel pressure, confusion, or manipulation. The court may consider their preference depending on age and maturity, but not blindly.

Do I need a lawyer if we already agree on visitation?

You don’t need one—but it helps. We can turn your agreement into a solid, enforceable parenting plan that avoids problems down the road.
