Can courts have the children live with both of the parties half the time?

“Do the courts in Florida have the power to have the children of the marriage live with both of the parties 50% of the time after a divorce?”

Yes. Under special circumstances, a court may order rotating child custody if the court finds that it will be in the best interest of the children.
