We maintain a strong focus on amicable solutions. In cases where the marriage has come to end, or the couples have decided to separate, and want to avoid prolonged court resolution we work out of court solutions.
In instances where it can be demonstrated that one spouse is financially dependent on the other, a court may order attorney fees be paid to the financially dependent spouse.

DIVORCE
There are many issues that can arise during a divorce that turn ordinary matters into complex situations. Issues such as:
Spousal support or alimony;
Child custody, visitation and support;
Enforcement of pre-nuptial agreements;
Distribution or martial assets and debt; and/or Domestic Violence
If the parties can agree to the terms of their divorce, then this is both financially and emotionally beneficial to them. However, where it is difficult to sit down with your spouse and amicably resolve the specifics of your situation. Then it is important to have a divorce lawyer who will help you protect your rights.
COLLABORATIVE LAW
The Collaborative Law Process is a method of resolving the parties differences by going through voluntary settlement negotiations rather than litigating in court. It is hoped that couples in Florida now have a process in which they can divorce with dignity and privacy.
The parties each hire their own attorney, and the parties and their attorneys meet jointly to privately negotiate a settlement of all issues involved. An agreement is signed by all the parties, which includes a commitment not to use court proceedings.
CHILD CUSTODY AND SUPPORT
Divorce can be difficult and stressful. Divorce with minor children involved brings many highly emotional issues such as
Child support calculation
Child support modification
Child support enforcement
Child custody “Time Sharing” or “Shared Parental Responsibility”
We recognize the paramount importance of a parent’s right to stay involved and close to children, providing influence and perspective as they grow, change and make important decisions.
