Divorce (Contested & Uncontested)
Divorce Representation: Personalized and Professional
Whether your divorce is amicable or contentious, our attorneys provide strong legal guidance from start to finish. We help you understand your rights and obligations in every aspect—property division, alimony, child custody, and more—so you can confidently move forward.
Alimony: Navigating Financial Fairness
Alimony can be one of the most contentious parts of a divorce. We advocate for fair, equitable solutions based on your financial needs and long-term stability, whether you’re seeking support or challenging an unreasonable request.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
Your children are your priority—and ours, too. Florida law prioritizes the best interests of the child, and we do the same. We craft thoughtful parenting plans for time-sharing, decision-making, and consistency, giving your family a roadmap to co-parenting success.
Child Support: Ensuring Fair Contributions
Florida courts use specific guidelines to calculate child support, but accurate representation and documentation are key. We ensure your financial disclosures are complete and fair, and advocate for modifications if circumstances change.
Paternity and Parental Rights
Paternity actions can establish crucial rights and responsibilities for unmarried parents. We represent both mothers and fathers in Bradenton and Sarasota, helping ensure access, support, and clarity under Florida law.
Property Division and Equitable Distribution
We help clients identify and fairly divide marital property, assets, debts, and retirement accounts—whether through negotiation or litigation. Our goal is a resolution that protects your financial future.
Modifications and Enforcement
Life changes, and sometimes, court orders need to change with it. We help clients seek or contest modifications to parenting plans, custody, support, or alimony, and enforce court orders when necessary.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Planning doesn’t mean you’re planning to fail. Our attorneys draft solid, legally binding agreements that clarify expectations and protect your interests in the event of divorce or death.
Collaborative Divorce: A Civilized Approach
Collaborative divorce can offer a respectful alternative for those seeking a less adversarial path. Our trained collaborative attorneys help clients reach mutual agreements without courtroom battles.
Same-Sex Family Law Representation
We proudly represent LGBTQ+ clients in all family law matters, including divorce, parenting, adoption, and prenuptial agreements, with a deep understanding of Florida’s evolving legal landscape.
DCF & Dependency Cases
The stakes are high if the Department of Children and Families becomes involved in your life. We help parents navigate dependency proceedings, reunification plans, and termination defense with urgency and care.
