1786	1786	parenting and time-sharing of each minor child of the parties in 647
1787	1787	accordance with the best interests of the child and in 648

1854	1854	that shared parental responsibility is detrimental to the child: 691
1855	1855	a. A parent has been convicted of a misdemeanor of the 692
1856	1856	first degree or higher involving domestic violence, as defined 693
1857	1857	in s. 741.28 and chapter 775; 694
1858	1858	b. A parent meets the criteria of s. 39.806(1)(d); or 695
1859	1859	c. A parent has been convicted of or had adjudication 696
1860	1860	withheld for an offense enumerated in s. 943.0435(1)(h)1.a., and 697
1861	1861	at the time of the offense: 698
1862	1862	(I) The parent was 18 years of age or older. 699
1863	1863	(II) The victim was under 18 years of age or the parent 700
1864	1864	believed the victim to be under 18 years of age. 701
1865	1865	702
1866	1866	If the presumption is not rebutted after the convicted parent is 703
1867	1867	advised by the court that the presumption exists, shared 704
1868	1868	parental responsibility, including time -sharing with the child, 705
1869	1869	and decisions made regarding the child, may not be granted to 706
1870	1870	the convicted parent. However, the convicted parent is not 707
1871	1871	relieved of any oblig ation to provide financial support. If the 708
1872	1872	court determines that shared parental responsibility would be 709
1873	1873	detrimental to the child, it may order sole parental 710
1874	1874	responsibility and make such arrangements for time -sharing as 711
