Tampa custody logistics come with a built-in complication: the water. A parent in Brandon and a parent in St. Pete share a child and a bridge schedule. Our portal manages the rest — intake, trained neutral supervisors, locations that split the drive fairly, and a court-ready report after every visit.
Tampa’s supervised time-sharing orders issue primarily from the circuit court serving Hillsborough County — Florida’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit — while families on the Pinellas side of the water answer to a different circuit entirely. That split is routine for us: your coordinator configures the case to whichever court issued your parenting plan, and scheduling treats the Bay as one map.
Florida parenting plans tend toward specificity — approved settings, exchange logistics, communication rules — and our supervisors review your plan’s exact terms before the first session. Visits happen at agreed community locations: Bayshore and riverfront parks in the mild months, library branches and indoor family venues through the summer storm season, chosen so neither household eats the whole commute.
MacDill shapes a share of our Tampa caseload, and the scheduling realities that come with it — duty rotations, TDYs, deployments. Weekend and evening slots book at the same flat rate, and where plans permit video contact, virtual supervision holds the weekly rhythm through an absence.
Ten minutes online with the parenting-plan basics. Either parent or an attorney can start; nobody waits on office hours.
Plan terms, safety notes, honest schedules including the bridge math. A coordinator reviews everything before activation.
Cases typically activate within 48–72 hours of both intakes. Saturday at a Riverwalk playground costs the same as Thursday evening at the library.
Timestamped documentation during the session; a court-ready report in your portal within 24 hours, every visit.
No mileage fees across the bridges, no weekend surcharges, no report charges. Two published numbers, Tampa to St. Pete and everywhere between.
No. The case follows the issuing court’s parenting plan; the visits follow the family’s actual geography. Your coordinator selects agreed locations that make sense for both households, whichever circuit signed the order.
Weather closures are rescheduled in the portal without penalty and logged as exactly what they are. Your coordinator also pre-plans indoor venue alternates, so an ordinary summer downpour moves the visit indoors rather than off the calendar.
