Testimonials: our Clients Says It Best

Samantha Foster
★★★★★
I am so thankful that I found Angela when I did. I had been in a contentious custody battle for over 6 years. I had Angela and her paralegal, Emily, for exactly one year and we got a GAL assigned and then eventually came to an agreed order. Her billing is very fair as well. I highly recommend her and Emily. They are fierce but fair!

Cathey Castro
★★★★★
I feel so fortunate to have found such a passionate and competent attorney at Davis and associates. Daniel Lastres not only listened compassionately , he truly cared about the outcome regarding the difficult situation I was confronted with. He advised me through my uncomfortable ordeal , using language I could understand regarding all the legalities of the division of our property. He is a ( soft spoken ) force of nature and then some.

Florida recognizes two key aspects of custody:

  • Parental Responsibility: The right to make decisions regarding the child’s education, medical care, and overall well-being.
  • Time-Sharing: A structured schedule outlining when each parent spends time with the child.


Custody may be
shared or sole, depending on what best serves the child’s interests. Courts favor shared parental responsibility whenever possible, ensuring that both parents maintain an active role in their child’s life. However, sole custody may be granted if one parent is deemed unfit or if shared custody is not in the child’s best interest.

Securing the Best Custody Outcome

Custody arrangements directly affect your child’s future, and our attorneys work diligently to ensure fair solutions. Florida courts consider factors such as:

✔️ Each parent’s relationship with the child.
✔️ Stability, financial standing, and overall well-being.
✔️ The child’s preference, if mature enough.
✔️ Any history of neglect or misconduct.

While we can’t guarantee a specific ruling, we build strong cases backed by evidence to support the best possible arrangement for your child.

Modification & Enforcement of Custody Orders

Life changes—sometimes in ways that require modifications to existing custody agreements. If circumstances shift due to employment, relocation, or the child’s evolving needs, we guide you through the legal process of amending custody terms. Additionally, if the other parent fails to honor the court-ordered agreement, our attorneys take legal steps to enforce compliance.
