Statistics indicate a large number of children are born into homes where their parents are not married, and these numbers are increasing. The child custody issues are the same for parents who are not married as for those who are married. In Florida, child custody issues are usually determined through a paternity action. The Court considers the best interests of the child when determining the parenting plan and time sharing or visitation arrangement, where the child will attend school, whether a parent can relocate with the child, and the division of the parental responsibilities.
