Family Law

Comprehensive Family Law Firm

Our practice provides quality family law representation for all types of family law matters.  Below are a few areas of specialty.

Divorce
Going through a divorce can be difficult both emotionally and financially.  These issues can be even more devastating if you are unprepared and do not have adequate representation of your legal interests.  More about divorce.

Child Custody and Visitation
If you have children, a divorce does not mean that your relationship with your ex-spouse is over.  The manner in which child custody and visitation issues are handled during and after the divorce have a lasting impact on children.  It is in the best interests of your children that you and your ex-spouse are able to communicate with each other in order to raise your children with meaningful contact from both parents.  Any communication issues should be worked out during the divorce and not after to ensure that any custody and visitation arrangement will work for both parties and more importantly that it will work for the children.  More about child custody and visitation. 

Child Support
Under Florida law, both parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children.  The amount of child support is set by law.  Florida has many mechanisms for enforcement of child support including garnishment of wages, property seizure, suspension of business licenses, suspension of drivers license and vehicle registration, and in some cases, criminal penalties.  More about child support.

Alimony
There are different types of alimony in Florida.  Each type is granted only in specific circumstances, but all types of alimony require that the party seeking alimony has a need and the party paying has the financial ability to pay.  More about alimony. 

Post-Judgment Modification
If there has been a significant change in circumstances since the judgment in your divorce was entered, you may be entitled to a modification in such areas as child support, alimony, child custody, or visitation rights.  More about post-judgment modification.

Paternity
Children have a right to be supported by both parents.  Further, unmarried fathers have a right to see their children.  If the biological father of a child is not the legal father, then paternity must be established before any rights to child support or visitation exist.  More about paternity actions.
