When Linda S. Braswell first began her career as a registered nurse, working in critical
care and emergency room environments, she realized that she couldn’t shake her
passion for history—a subject she studied a minor in while attending the University of
Miami’s School of Nursing.

Recognizing how much she loved history, she came to the realization that law is history.
Ever since England drafted the Magna Carta in 1215 to diminish the tyrannical rule of
King John and bring an end to absolute power in the country, the law has been
changing and reshaping with society. This has particularly been seen in America, in the
way Families and the way parenting children and present family legal needs have
evolved in just the last few decades.

Ms. Braswell attended St. Thomas University School of Law and graduated with her
Juris Doctorate degree, Cume Laude in 1990. In 1991 she began a partnership
practice at Braswell & Sallato, P.A., in Miami, focusing her practice in Family Law and
related areas of family practice. She became a Supreme Court Certified Family Law
Mediator and believes the mediation process is very effective in resolving conflicts
concerning family issues. In 2008 Ms. Braswell began Linda S. Braswell, P.A., and has
been practicing in the West Palm Beach area.

Over the years Florida like the rest of the country has seen a rise in single parenting.
Mothers are no longer having to carry the burden of parenting responsibilities alone
after a divorce. Father’s parental rights have been increasingly recognized and
exercised, especially in the Florida Statutes with Shared Parental Responsibility
becoming the standard in Florida. The Statutes recognize both parents are instrumental
in raising children especially in divorce or paternity cases. Parents are given the same
rights, shared responsibilities, and financial obligations for the care and upbringing of
children. Florida Courts require parents in family law cases to complete online
parenting courses to assist them in navigating the issues that can arise from coparenting, 

and the children’s needs when living with separate households.

Parenting Plans are now being required by the Courts to minimize confusion and
frustration between the parents with time sharing for the children. The Parenting Plans
have written schedules for regular time sharing, and define holiday and vacation
schedules. The Parenting Plans are intended to become Court Orders subject to
enforcement by the Courts when necessary if a parent fails to co-parent or comply with
the terms or schedules contained in them.
