Contact us, David T. Agoston Attorney at Law, for legal help with the following:

Divorce

The legal term for divorce in Florida is dissolution of marriage. The process begins when one party files a petition seeking a court order on issues such as property division, child custody, child support and spousal support. The other side then has 20 days to contact a lawyer and file an answer and possibly a counter-petition.

Child Custody and Support

Child Custody and support issues can cause problems because two adverse parties, the ex-spouses, have to work together for them to work. If child custody is contested, courts will order a parenting plan, based on about 13 different factors. All issues regarding custody visitation, and support will be addressed.

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.

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 after the divorce. We can explain how the modification process works.
