Wise Legal Advice for Divorce Decisions
Equitable division of assets and liabilities — Equitable is not the same as equal, equitable means fair. Everyone’s case is different and fair for one family may not be the same as for another family. Each case must be looked at on an individual basis to determine an “equitable” outcome.
Spousal support — We help you determine if one spouse should support the other, in what manner, for how long, and what amount. We make certain that the payee does not pay more than is due, and that the payor receives all that is appropriate. A Florida alimony attorney is a valuable asset in this determination because there is not a state formula to use as a guideline.
Child support — Florida has the formula to follow for child support responsibilities. We make certain that the formula is applied accurately, giving the payor all of the deductions deserved, also ensuring that the payee is receiving what is appropriate.
Child custody — Florida no longer uses the term “child custody” and now calls it “time-sharing.” Time-sharing is a phrase used to express how much time the children spend with each parent. There are two types of Parental Responsibility, joint or sole. The courts typically grant joint responsibility which means parents must agree on the major decisions in the children’s lives; however, each parent will make the day-to-day decisions for the children when they are in that parent’s care.
