Filing for divorce is one of the hardest decisions a spouse can make. When a couple drifts apart and possibly separates, that begins the deep divide that leads a spouse into ultimately deciding that they need to move on with their lives and file for divorce.
What happens when I file for divorce?
The Courts seek to keep a strong parent/child relationship during a divorce and after. It is public policy that each child has frequent and continuing contact with both parents who are encouraged to share the rights and responsibilities as well as the joys of having children.
If I file for divorce, will I get custody of my kids?
In Florida, a formula is used to determine the amount of Child Support owed by one parent to the other. Both parents are responsible for the financial well-being of their child. Guidelines set how much each parent will pay or receive.
How is child support determined?
If you are a man who fathered a child without being married to the mother, you will need to be declared the Legal Father to obtain any rights to see your child or to have an ability to have a say in how and where your child is raised.
How do I establish paternity?
Child Support payment amounts and time-sharing agreements are always modifiable. The party seeking Modification must prove a Substantial Change in Circumstances since the last order or judgment in the case.
Can custody or support be modified?
Enough is enough whenever you decide it is! The Court can issue a restraining order, known in Florida as an injunction, which prohibits contact with the victim, providing immediate protection through the civil court.
How do I get an injunction?
I have always believed in the idea of fairness and equality for all people. I bring that commitment to the practice of Family Law. I strive to reach the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
Making decisions that can affect the rest of your life
As a former Assistant State Attorney, I have handled thousands of cases including those punishable by life imprisonment. I had to make tough decisions that would affect the lives of every person connected to the case. I focus on what is just and right for all those involved.
