Fort Walton Beach Florida Divorce Attorney

Shalimar Divorce Separation Attorney

Walking You Through the Divorce Process

For many individuals, going through a divorce is their first experience with the legal system. This can be an overwhelming process. At the office of James C. Campbell, P.A., our firm understands the emotions and stress that accompany a divorce. We strive to help clients understand their rights and the many issues that may stem from a contested divorce.

Contact us today to speak with lawyer James C. Campbell about your divorce or separation, or one of the issues listed below.

Property Division

Florida is an equitable distribution state when it comes to property division. This means that personal property (such as financial accounts, furnishings and cars) along with assets (such as retirement accounts and pensions) are divided fairly, but not necessarily 50-50. We work to ensure that the proper value is placed on your property and fight for the division that is in your favor.

Child and Spousal Support

Though not every situation requires the payment of spousal support (alimony), cases where alimony is ordered can be highly contentious. The courts consider a range of factors when determining how much alimony is to be paid from one spouse to the other, including age of the parties, length of the marriage and income-earning potential of the spouse seeking alimony. Refer to Florida statutes 61.08 which addresses alimony.

Also, child support is confidently handled by our firm. We strive to see that the proper amount is ordered to ensure that the child can receive everything that he or she needs. These cases are handled in conjunction with a divorce and for parties that have never been married. Refer to Florida statute 61.30 which addresses child support.

Child Custody (Time Sharing)

Called "time-sharing" in Florida, a child custody arrangement usually entails the creation of a parenting plan. This plan allows parents to detail aspects of the child's life to ensure stability and consistency, regardless of whether the child is at the mother or father's house. We can assist divorcing couples in seeking a time-sharing arrangement that is in the best interests of the child. Refer to Florida statute 61.13 which addresses time sharing.

You do not have to face your divorce alone. Attorney James C. Campbell has years of experience handling divorces and issues that stem from a divorce for clients in Shalimar, Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding Florida communities. Contact us to learn more about how to file for divorce, the grounds for divorce and understanding your rights at every stage of the case.

Vigorous Negotiation

Many clients choose to settle their divorce issues out of court, through negotiation of the terms of the divorce. However, this give-and-take process does not always suit each case. When necessary we can aggressively argue your case in court in order to see that your best interests are being served to the fullest extent of the law.
