Helping You Resolve Family Concerns
Whether you're going through a divorce or dealing with another family legal issue, a lawyer with knowledge and experience can make all the difference in helping you achieve a favorable outcome. Contact us for help with any of the following family law matters:
- Divorce: Each divorce is different. We will help you pursue your desired outcome on issues like child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support and property division under Florida's equitable distribution laws. We seek negotiated settlements whenever possible, but are ready to stand up for you in court.
- Child and spousal support: Child support can be sought in a divorce, separation or paternity case and is governed by a strict formula set forth in the Florida laws. Spousal support requires an assessment of your individual situation.
- Child custody and visitation: When a child's parents separate, the family courts seek parenting plans that reflect the best interests of the child. Like child support, this is often an important issue to couples seeking to divorce or separate as well as those seeking to establish paternity.
- Paternity: If a child is born to an unmarried mother, the father may acknowledge paternity at birth, or a paternity action can be brought in family court to ensure that the child gets the care and support of both parents.
- Grandparents' rights: When a child's parents are unfit to care for the child, it may be possible for grandparents or other family members to obtain certain custody rights.
- Military retirement rights: The retirement benefits of military personnel and their spouses are complex and unique. We understand the rules and can help you pursue the benefits you deserve.
- Domestic violence: A domestic violence protective order can keep the accused person out of his or her own home for up to a year with the threat of criminal penalties. We represent both sides in domestic violence disputes.

Seeking Modification and EnforcementFamily law judgments are closely tied to each family's individual circumstances, and when those circumstances change, most judgments are subject to modification. We help clients seek modification of child custody, child support and other matters. We may also be able to help you pursue enforcement of a family law judgment. No matter whether you have made informal arrangements in the past or not, a judgment handed down by a family court is binding. |
