How do I create a legally binding child visitation schedule

If the father and the mother were never married, the mother is the sole legal custodian of the child, and you can legally refuse the father to take the child, if you do not think it is in the child’s best interest. If the parties were never married, you need to file a Petition to Establish Paternity and a Parenting Plan. Thereafter, the parties need to come up with a parenting plan (agreement as to how the parents will share time with the child). If you cannot do so, the Judge will come up with a parenting plan for you. That’s an oversimplified explanation. Below is a link where to you can find forms for all the documents I’ve mentioned. http://www.flcourts.org/resources-and-services/court-improvement/problem-solving-courts/family-courts/family-law-forms.stml Best of Luck, Helena Y.
