This is the product of some brainstorming.  This child custody tool is based on some factors we think are important.  The result is based on a secret custody formula, only found in our heads.  Take the results with a grain of salt.  A child custody decision, and designation of the majority parent (primary residential parent) is based on hundreds of facts.  I hope you find this tool useful as a quick guess on who would be designated the majority parent (primary residential parent).

Child Custody questions and answers

Why is the term majority parent used on this page ? - Several years ago Florida revised the custody statutes and eliminated any reference to "primary residential parent" and "secondary residential parent."  Now, attorneys and judges use substitute terms such as "majority parent" and "residential parent."  You may hear other descriptive terms in your case. But they all boil down to the same concept.

How does the prediction affect my child support ? - Child support can change according to which parent is the majority parent, and also according to the number of nights the children sleep in the other parent's home

Custody was already determined in a previous court case. Can I easily change custody?  - That is easier said than done. Once a court makes a permanent determination, the standard for changes becomes much more difficult to achieve.

Does that mean that custody can never be modified ? - No. Custody is always modifiable. But you must have sufficient reasons. This is a determination best made by an experienced custody attorney
