In Florida, the state allows visitation rights (timeshare rights) to be taken away if it is within the best interest of the child. Parents who are non-custodial may be required to pay child support to help with financial stability, but if payments are not made, it can affect visitation rights. While child support payments are important for maintaining visitation rights, a healthy relationship between parent and child is also taken into consideration. 

However, it is not possible to prevent a parent who cannot make payments from seeing their child. 

Florida courts will take missed visits into consideration. This can impact existing custody arrangements and future custody arrangements. 

Knowing how your situation can impact your visitation rights will be largely dependent upon your family's individual scenario. IIf you have questions about your family's timeshare and visitation rights, contact a Miami family law lawyer at Rafool, LLC.
