Navigating The Divorce Process
Divorce can be a tough process, emotionally and mentally. Your former relationship will go through a complete shift and it’s important to prepare everything so that you are satisfied and ready for your new stage of life. When possible, we will enforce civility and resolve issues through negotiation. At the same time, we will zealously fight on your behalf if your ex isn’t being reasonable.
We can help you through all proceedings, from the equitable distribution of your assets to spousal support. We have assisted residents in the Clearwater, Tampa Bay and Palm Harbor areas with marital law cases for years, so you’ll have the peace of mind knowing you have experienced professionals on your side.
Am I Entitled To Alimony?
Alimony is an essential part of ending your relationship so that each of you can begin building a new life. In Florida, alimony is determined under marital law statutes based on income and, in part, upon the standard of living established during the marriage.
After an agreement has been entered into by the parties or a decision is handed down by the court, there is a possibility that the spousal support amount can be changed later on. If there has been a significant change, such as a loss of income or other change in circumstances, we can petition the court to either lessen your payments or eliminate alimony altogether.
On the other hand, if you have an agreement in place and your former partner is not upholding his or her obligation or the amount is insufficient for your needs, we can pursue legal action against your partner to get you the amount you are entitled to in order to maintain your normal lifestyle.
Child Custody And Time-Sharing Plans
The end of a marriage can be very hard for a child. The rights and needs of the children involved in any of our cases are always a primary concern and we work to ensure that the best interests of the kids are upheld. However, a Florida court, based on what is best for the child, will issue an order defining the plan if the parents are unable to come to an agreement.
If you are faced with a situation where the other parent wants to relocate to another area, know that under Florida law, they cannot move more than 50 miles away without your written consent or prior permission of the Court. If there is a problem where someone tries to circumvent this law, we will oppose the other party’s request for relocation and will vigorously represent your marital law case in Clearwater, Tampa Bay and Palm Harbor.
