We recognize the weight of the decisions you are facing, and we are committed to protecting your interests with the care, clarity, and dedication that your family deserves.
Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce)
Florida is a "no-fault" divorce state. You do not need to prove specific misconduct to end a marriage; you only need to show that the marriage is "irretrievably broken."
Equitable Distribution: Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets and debts are divided fairly—though not always an exact 50/50 split.
Alimony: Recent legislative changes have significantly altered alimony structures in Florida. We provide guidance on bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, and permanent periodic alimony based on the length of the marriage and financial need.
Parenting Plans & Time- Sharing
Florida has moved away from the terms "custody" and "visitation," instead utilizing Parenting Plans.
Time-Sharing: A detailed schedule outlining when the child spends time with each parent.
Parental Responsibility: Courts typically favor "Shared Parental Responsibility," where both parents collaborate on major decisions regarding healthcare, education, and religion.
Best Interests Standard: Every decision made by a Florida judge is anchored in the $20$ factors outlined in Florida Statute 61.13, ensuring the child’s well-being remains the priority.
Paternity & Fathers’ Rights
Establishing paternity is vital for securing legal rights to time-sharing and decision-making authority. For children born out of wedlock, a legal judgment of paternity is required to protect the father's role and ensure the child receives necessary support.
Child Support
Child support in Florida is determined by standardized Child Support Guidelines. These calculations are based on:
The combined net income of both parents.
The number of overnights the child spends with each parent.
Costs of health insurance and daycare.
