Divorce and family law matters can be a very stressful time in one's life. Child custody ("timesharing"), division of assets and debts, alimony and child support as well as post judgment modification and enforcement matters involve both statutory and case law. My parents separated one week prior to my ninth birthday. I vividly remember the day I left the only home I had ever known. I understand th

e emotional impact a divorce may have on you and your family. I will actively engage your spouse and his or her counsel to find common ground. The Mediation process is usually instrumental in assisting the parties with reaching a settlement. Spouses may not always be able to reach a final agreement, but it should always be the goal. When you arrive at my office for your initial consultation, you may be anxious or confused about your rights and responsibilities - perhaps as a result of certain misconceptions about the legal process. I will make every effort to inform you about the divorce process. With knowledge comes power.

Parenting plans specifically lay out a plan for custody and visitation — known in Florida as timesharing. In certain situations, the parents cannot agree on the details of their parenting plan, and in these cases, a Florida divorce court must hold an evidentiary hearing to determine these matters. Like with most child custody matters, the court makes its decision using the “best interests of the child” standard.

For assistance with your parenting plan, work with an experienced attorney who can help ensure that everyone’s needs are met. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation.

One question that I get often is what happens to alimony if the receiving spouse remarries. After a divorce in Florida, the general rule is that when the former spouse who is receiving alimony remarries, their right to alimony may be terminated. If the former spouse is living in a “supportive relationship” with someone as if they are married, their alimony may be decreased or terminated. In this case, the burden is on the spouse who pays alimony to prove that their ex is in a supportive relationship.

Once the Florida divorce court has taken into account the equitable distribution of assets as well as spousal support and child support, it may also consider awarding attorney fees from one spouse to another. These fees are based upon need and ability and are enforceable via the court’s contempt powers.
