Florida Child Visitation



How do I establish visitation?

Florida child visitation can be established and modified in several ways. Read the instructions below to determine which court forms you should file.

Petition To Determine Paternity And For Related Relief

FAMILY LAW FORM 12.983(a) should be used by a birth mother or father to ask the court to establish paternity, custody, visitation, and/or child support of a minor child or children.

This means that you are trying to legally establish who is the father of the children.

See our Web-Powered page for Form 12-983a


Supplemental Petition To Modify Custody Or Visitation And Other Relief

FAMILY LAW FORM 12.905(a) should be used when you are asking the court to change current court-ordered custody or visitation arrangements.

The court can change an order granting shared parental responsibility, including a primary residential responsibility/custody order if the judge finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances of the parties and the change is in the children’s best interest.

See our Web-Powered page for Form 12-905a


Supplemental Petition For Temporary Modification/Amendment Of Custody For Children Of Custodial Parent Activated, Deployed, Or Temporarily Assigned To Military Service

FAMILY LAW FORM 12.905(d) should be used when a parent seeks a temporary modification of custody because the custodial parent is activated, deployed, or temporarily assigned to military service.
