Protecting Your Best Interests

Making decisions with your spouse during can prove difficult, as tensions frequently run high during the divorce process. Our attorneys are here to protect your best interests when negotiating the divisions of finances, possessions, and more. We can help you secure the assets that you deserve, including:

• Property: Florida is an equitable distribution state. The court acts on the basis that all marital property should be divided evenly unless there are factors to justify a different distribution. Our lawyers can help you determine which factors you can argue in order to receive a fair distribution of the marital property. This may include your marital contributions, the duration of the marriage, and your economic circumstances.
• Alimony: Also known as spousal support, this is the financial support paid to one spouse to facilitate their transition into a self-supporting lifestyle. Typically, the spouse who is eligible to receive alimony payments from the other has a lower income or made significant sacrifices in their career to contribute to the marriage. Our lawyers can help you navigate the subject of alimony payments, whether you are entitled to them or being asked to pay them.
• Children: Divorces that involve children are far more complicated than those that don’t. A divorce lawyer can help develop a plan to ensure the best outcome for you and your family. Our lawyers can help you determine parental responsibility, child support, and parenting plans in accordance with Florida law.
