About Plant City, Florida
Plant City is world-famous as the "Strawberry Capital of the World," hosting the annual Florida Strawberry Festival that draws over 500,000 visitors each spring (late February through early March) to celebrate the region's agricultural heritage with concerts, rides, exhibits, and the famous Strawberry Queen's Pageant. The historic downtown district features beautifully preserved buildings from the 1920s, local craft breweries including Cigar City Brewing's Plant City location and Independent Brewing Company, the Plant City Municipal Auditorium (hosting concerts, trade shows, and community events), and unique local restaurants and antique shops. The community maintains its agricultural roots with numerous strawberry farms (producing the majority of America's winter strawberries shipped nationwide from December through March), the Florida Strawberry Festival Museum showcasing festival history and memorabilia, and serves as a major hub for winter vegetable production (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers) shipping to grocery stores across the eastern United States. Plant City's residential areas offer affordable housing options, top-rated schools including Plant City High School (home of the Thundering Herd), Plant City Middle School, and multiple elementary schools, plus convenient access to I-4 for commuters to Tampa (30 minutes west), Lakeland (20 minutes east), and Orlando (45 minutes east). The community hosts regular farmers markets at the Plant City Civic Center featuring local produce and artisan goods, the Strawberry Festival Queen's Pageant, holiday parades, and maintains strong ties to its agricultural heritage through the Plant City Historical Society (preserving local history since 1976), Florida Strawberry Growers Association (founded 1953), and annual Farm City Day celebrations connecting urban residents with local agriculture. The area has seen significant growth in recent years with new residential developments, retail expansion along James L. Redman Parkway and State Road 60, the addition of major retailers and restaurants, while maintaining its small-town charm and agricultural identity. Plant City offers a unique blend of rural heritage and modern amenities, with community parks including McLeod Park (sports facilities, playgrounds), Plant City Dog Park, the Plant City Recreation Department offering youth sports and programs, and easy access to nearby attractions like Alafia River State Park and the Tampa Bay area.

Top-Asked Questions
Florida courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include each parent's relationship with the child, ability to provide care, stability, the child's preference (if old enough), and any history of abuse or substance abuse. Courts typically prefer "shared parental responsibility" when both parents are fit and involved.
Florida uses an income-shares model for child support. Both parents' incomes are considered, along with the number of overnights each parent has. The state provides guidelines, but judges can deviate from them based on special circumstances like high incomes, special needs, or private school expenses. Child support continues until the child is 18 (or 19 if still in high school).
Alimony is spousal support paid to a lower-earning spouse after divorce. Florida recognizes several types: temporary (during divorce), bridge-the-gap (short-term), rehabilitative (to help a spouse become self-supporting), durational (limited time), and permanent (typically for long marriages). Courts consider factors like the marriage length, each spouse's income, and earning capacity.
Florida is an "equitable distribution" state—not a community property state. This means marital property is divided fairly (not necessarily 50/50) based on each spouse's contributions, economic circumstances, and other factors. Non-marital property (owned before marriage or inherited) is not divided. We help protect your assets and present a fair division argument.
Yes, either parent can request modification if there's been a "substantial change in circumstances" since the original order. This might include job loss, relocation, change in custody needs, or change in income. We'll help you navigate the modification process and present the strongest case for your situation.
