1748	1748	accordance with the best interests of the child and in 642

1751	1751	and time-sharing schedule requires a showing of a substantial 645
1752	1752	and material change of circumstances. 646
1753	1753	1. It is the public policy of this state that each minor 647
1754	1754	child has frequent and continuing contact with both parents 648
1755	1755	after the parents separate or the marriage of the parties is 649
1756	1756	dissolved and to encourage parents to share the rights and 650
1757	1757	responsibilities, and joys, of childrearing. Unless otherwise 651
1758	1758	provided in this sec tion or agreed to by the parties, there is a 652
1759	1759	rebuttable presumption that equal time -sharing of a minor child 653
1760	1760	is in the best interests of the minor child. To rebut this 654
1761	1761	presumption, a party must prove by a preponderance of the 655
1762	1762	evidence that equal time -sharing is not in the best interests of 656
1763	1763	the minor child. Except when a time -sharing schedule is agreed 657
1764	1764	to by the parties and approved by the court, the court must 658
1765	1765	evaluate all of the factors set forth in subsection (3) and make 659

1793	1793	has been brought or is currently pending in the court; 675
1794	1794	c. Whether either parent has or has had reasonable cause 676
1795	1795	to believe that his or her minor child or children are or have 677
1796	1796	been in imminent danger of becoming victi ms of an act of abuse 678

1804	1804	that shared parental responsibility is detrimental to the child: 686

1821	1821	c. A parent has been convicted of or had adjudica tion 691
1822	1822	withheld for an offense enumerated in s. 943.0435(1)(h)1.a., and 692
1823	1823	at the time of the offense: 693
1824	1824	(I) The parent was 18 years of age or older. 694
1825	1825	(II) The victim was under 18 years of age or the parent 695
1826	1826	believed the victim to be under 18 years of age. 696
1827	1827	697
1828	1828	If the presumption is not rebutted after the convicted parent is 698
1829	1829	advised by the court that the presumption exists, shared 699
1830	1830	parental responsibility, including time -sharing with the child, 700
1831	1831	and decisions made regarding the child, may not be granted to 701
1832	1832	the convicted parent. However, the convicted parent is not 702
1833	1833	relieved of any obligation to provide financial support. If the 703

1835	1835	detrimental to the child, it may order sole parental 705
1836	1836	responsibility and make such arrangements for time -sharing as 706

1857	1857	to one party the ultimate responsibility over specific aspects 715

1861	1861	any other responsibilities that the court finds unique to a 719
