Divorce and Marriage Dissolution

The end of a marriage is often one of life’s most challenging transitions. Whether you’re considering divorce or have already begun the process, our attorneys provide comprehensive guidance through every step. We handle both contested and uncontested divorces, always striving to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

Florida law recognizes “no-fault” divorce, meaning either spouse can file for divorce by stating that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” While this simplifies the legal basis for divorce, the process itself often involves complex negotiations regarding asset division, support payments, and child custody arrangements.

High-Asset Divorce

High-net-worth divorces present unique challenges that require specialized expertise. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling complex financial matters, including:

• Business valuations and division
• Investment portfolio analysis
• Real estate holdings
• Retirement accounts and pension plans
• Hidden asset investigation
• Tax implications of property division

We work closely with financial experts, forensic accountants, and other specialists to ensure our clients’ interests are protected throughout the divorce process.

Child Custody and Support

Nothing is more important than your children’s wellbeing. Florida courts use the term “time-sharing” rather than custody, emphasizing the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents whenever possible. We help parents develop comprehensive parenting plans that serve their children’s best interests while protecting their parental rights.

Time-sharing arrangements must consider numerous factors, including:

The children’s relationship with each parent
Each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment
The children’s educational needs
The geographical viability of the arrangement
The parents’ ability to cooperate and communicate

Our attorneys work diligently to help parents reach agreements through negotiation whenever possible, but we’re also prepared to advocate strongly in court when necessary.

Child Support and Alimony

Financial support matters require careful consideration of both current circumstances and future needs. Florida law provides specific guidelines for calculating child support based on both parents’ incomes, the amount of time-sharing, and the children’s needs. However, there’s often room for negotiation, especially in cases involving self-employed parents, variable incomes, or special needs children.

Alimony determinations are more complex, considering factors such as:

• The length of the marriage
• Each spouse’s earning capacity
• The standard of living established during the marriage
• Each party’s contributions to the marriage
• The needs of both parties post-divorce

Our attorneys help clients understand their rights and obligations regarding support payments, ensuring that any agreements or court orders are fair and sustainable.

Domestic Violence Protection

Domestic violence cases require immediate attention and decisive action. Our attorneys help victims obtain protective orders quickly while ensuring their safety and legal rights are protected. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and provide compassionate, confidential representation while coordinating with law enforcement and support services as needed.

Modern Family Law Practice

Today’s family law practice has evolved to incorporate new technologies and methods that can make the legal process more efficient and less stressful. We offer:

• Virtual consultations and remote court appearances when appropriate
• Electronic document management and secure client portals
• Mediation and collaborative law options

 Modification and Enforcement

Life circumstances change, and sometimes court orders need to be modified to reflect new realities. We assist clients with modifications to:

• Time-sharing arrangements
• Child support obligations
• Alimony payments
• Parenting plans

When existing orders aren’t being followed, we help clients enforce their rights through appropriate legal channels.
