Providing Expert Guidance and Personalized Support for Various Family Legal Matters
There are many different situations in which it is beneficial to seek the help of an experienced family law lawyer. I understand the complexities of these situations and can provide valuable information and advice to help you move forward with confidence. I can assist with the following family legal matters:
- Divorce: Florida law stipulates that at least one spouse must have lived in the state for a minimum of six months in order to file for divorce. By law, there are two situations in which a couple can choose to get a divorce: Either their marriage is broken beyond repair, or one of the spouses has a mental incapacity and has been incapacitated for the past three years. Either way, you have options. I can help you choose the course of action that will lead to the most favorable outcome for you.
- Alimony (or Spousal Support): According to Florida divorce law, there are several factors that determine whether one spouse is entitled to alimony payments. The purpose of alimony is to help the receiving spouse get back on his or her feet after the divorce, and it can either be awarded monthly or in one lump sum (or both). I will explain these factors in detail and work closely with you to ensure you are getting exactly what you need.
- Child Support: In Florida, both parents are responsible for providing financial support for their child(ren) regardless of their marital state. There is a common misconception that 50/50 time sharing means there is no need for child support. In reality, the court gets to decide how much child support the non-custodial parent will be obligated to provide, and it is determined on an individual, case-by-case basis. I can provide you with clarity and expert counsel about your particular case, and help to ensure that your needs are being met.
