Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Bradenton
Do I have to go to court for a divorce?
Not always. Many divorces in Bradenton are resolved through mediation or negotiated settlements. However, if disputes remain unresolved, a judge will decide.
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts focus on the best interests of the child, considering each parent’s involvement, ability to provide, and willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent.
How long does a typical divorce take?
An uncontested divorce can take as little as a few months. Contested divorces may take longer, depending on the complexity of the issues and the level of cooperation.
What if my spouse and I agree on everything?
That’s great. We can help you draft a marital settlement agreement and parenting plan, file the necessary documents, and finalize your divorce efficiently.
Can I change a child support or custody order?
Yes—if there’s been a significant change in circumstances. We can help you petition the court to modify existing orders.
