Under Florida divorce law, the court is mandated to order that parental responsibility for a minor child be shared by both parties unless the court finds that shared parental responsibility would be a detriment to the child. It is the public policy in the state of Florida to ensure that a minor child has frequent and continuing contact with both parents after the parents separate or the marriage is dissolved and to encourage both parents to share in the rights and responsibilities and joys of child-rearing. After considering all relevant factors, the father of a child is to be given the same consideration as the mother in determining the primary residence of the child, irrespective of the age or sex of the child.
