Help With Your Divorce

The legal term for divorce in Florida is dissolution of marriage. The process begins when one party files a petition with the court. Then, the other side has 20 days to contact a lawyer and file an answer and possibly a counter-petition.

We can help you file for divorce or respond to your spouse's divorce action. At our firm, we have extensive experience assisting clients with all aspects of their divorce, including property division and alimony.

Child Custody, Visitation and Child Support

When child custody and parental responsibility, visitation, and child support are contested, the court will develop what is known as a parenting plan. The plan is based on a number of different factors, from the amount of income of each parent to the child's special needs. This plan will cover all aspects of custody, visitation and support in one order.

At our firm, we have helped countless clients negotiate and fight for parenting plans that work for them and are in the best interests of their child. We will help you understand your options and aggressively defend your interests inside and outside of the courtroom.

Paternity Actions

Unmarried mothers and fathers can seek paternity actions in Florida. Mothers usually do so because the father is not paying voluntary child support. Many fathers seek to establish paternity because the mother is either not providing visitation or is playing puppet-master with the father over when he can and can't see his child. We can help you bring a paternity action to enforce your rights in court.

Modifications

Divorce settlements are not written in stone. Many parts of your agreement, such as parenting plans, child support and spousal support can be changed if there is a significant change in your circumstances. We can explain how the modification process works and help you get the support you and your child need.
