What We Handle
Our family law practice covers the full range of matters that arise when families go through periods of change and conflict. We represent clients in divorce proceedings whether contested, uncontested, or collaborative. We handle child custody disputes, parenting plan negotiations, child support establishment and modification, alimony claims, and parental relocation matters. If your circumstances have changed since an original order was entered, we also assist with modifications to existing agreements and court orders.
Contested and Uncontested Divorce
No two divorces are the same. Some couples are able to reach agreement on all major issues and simply need experienced attorneys to ensure the paperwork is thorough, accurate, and legally sound. Others face significant disagreements over assets, support, or custody that require skilled negotiation or courtroom advocacy to resolve. We handle both with equal preparation and attention to detail, and we will be straightforward with you from the beginning about what your situation realistically requires.
Collaborative Divorce
For couples who want to reach a resolution without handing control to a judge, collaborative divorce offers a structured, team-based process designed to produce outcomes that both parties can genuinely live with. Our attorneys are trained in collaborative practice and have guided many families through this process successfully. It tends to cost less, take less time, and preserve relationships better than traditional litigation, which matters enormously when children are involved.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
Florida courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, which involves a detailed analysis of each parent’s relationship with the child, their ability to support that relationship with the other parent, stability, and a range of other factors. We help clients navigate this process whether they are establishing a parenting plan for the first time or seeking to modify one after a material change in circumstances.
Parental Relocation
When one parent wants to move more than fifty miles from their current residence, Florida law requires either the written consent of the other parent or court approval. These cases move quickly and the stakes are high. A relocation can fundamentally alter a child’s relationship with the non-relocating parent, and courts take that seriously. Whether you are seeking to relocate or opposing a move, early legal involvement is critical to protecting your position.
Child Support and Alimony
Florida uses a specific formula to calculate child support based on both parents’ incomes, time-sharing arrangements, and other factors. Alimony determinations are more discretionary and depend heavily on the length of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, and each party’s financial circumstances. We help clients understand what they are entitled to, what they may owe, and how to pursue or defend against modifications when life changes.
