Why Hire a Family Law Attorney?
The outcome of your case could have long-lasting impacts on your family's well-being and dynamic.

As another example, securing the financial support you need and deserve after divorce could be crucial for your ability to move forward with your life.

-
Does it matter who files for divorce first in Florida?As a no-fault divorce state, Florida does not require a spouse to prove wrongdoing, so there isn’t typically a legal advantage to filing for divorce first. However, the person who files first can have some control over the pace of the proceedings and may have a psychological advantage.
-
How is child support calculated in Florida?Child support in Florida is calculated using the Income Shares Model, which takes into account both parents’ income, the number of overnights the child spends with each parent, and the child’s healthcare and childcare costs.
-
Who has to leave the house in a divorce in Florida?Determining who must leave the marital home during a divorce is often dependent on the specific circumstances of the case. If there are allegations of abuse or domestic violence, the court may order one spouse to leave. In other cases, the court may not require either spouse to leave until the divorce is finalized and the property division is decided.
