• Child Support
  Every family situation is different when it comes to child support after a divorce. Obviously, the division of custody plays a major part in how much child support one parent will be required to pay to the other. The child’s future and well-being are the most important issues in determining the proper amount of child support to be paid. The courts do not view it as a burden or a punishment, but as support for your child’s life and happiness.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  One of the most emotional and contentious issues in a divorce is child custody. The children’s welfare is the most important part of any divorce, and we only want the best for your children.
• Paternity
  The purpose of a paternity case in Florida is to determine the natural and legal father of a minor child and to award parental rights. The determination of paternity is extremely important since the court cannot issue an order against the father unless paternity is established.
• Spousal Support
  Alimony, also known as spousal support or maintenance, is a legal obligation to financially support one’s former spouse after separation or divorce. Alimony ensures that both spouses can maintain their standard of living after the dissolution of their marriage and it is often awarded in order to lessen any financial difficulty that may be caused by the separation. The goal of alimony is to give both former spouses an equitable financial arrangement and prevent either one from being left with disproportionate resources.
• Annulment
• Child Abuse
  Violence and abuse occurring in the home is an unfortunate reality across the country. Anyone who suffers from any type of domestic abuse is a victim of reprehensible behavior. The sad truth is that many instances of domestic violence go unreported. Any type of domestic incident involving child abuse or spousal abuse is intolerable, and we are firm believers that no one should have to live with any type of abuse.
