Divorce Attorneys in Sarasota

At McNary Law, we know that divorce is never easy, but choosing the right Sarasota divorce attorney can make all the difference. Our experienced legal team offers compassionate, strategic counsel tailored to your unique situation.

Why Choose a Sarasota Divorce Attorney?

Complex statutes and procedural rules govern divorce in Florida. Whether seeking a straightforward dissolution or navigating high-conflict issues like child custody or asset division, having an experienced Sarasota divorce attorney on your side ensures your rights are protected every step of the way.

At McNary Law, we combine in-depth knowledge of Florida law with a deep understanding of the emotional and financial toll divorce can take. Located in Bradenton and serving both Manatee and Sarasota counties, we are proud to be trusted advocates for Sarasota families.

Understanding Florida Divorce Law

Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning that a spouse does not need to prove wrongdoing to file. Most cases cite “irreconcilable differences.” However, the ease of filing does not mean the process is simple. Common divorce-related issues include:

  • Equitable Distribution – Florida courts aim to divide marital assets fairly, though not equally. Property, debt, business interests, and retirement accounts are all considered.

  • Alimony—The appropriateness of spousal support depends on the length of the marriage, standard of living, and financial resources. Recent legislative changes, such as Senate Bill 1416, have significantly impacted alimony laws in Florida.

  • Parenting Plans – The courts prioritize the child’s best interests, meaning both parents must submit a detailed plan outlining timesharing and parental responsibilities.

  • Child Support – Florida uses statutory guidelines to calculate support, but disputes over income calculations and extraordinary expenses can arise.

  • Modifications and Enforcement – Life changes. Our Sarasota divorce attorneys help clients adjust or enforce existing court orders related to custody, support, or alimony.

Types of Divorce Cases We Handle in Sarasota

Every divorce is different. At McNary Law, we tailor our approach to your specific circumstances, offering support in:

  • Contested Divorce – Litigation may be required when parties disagree on one or more issues. We provide assertive courtroom representation when negotiation fails.

  • Uncontested Divorce – If both spouses agree, we streamline the process while ensuring all legal requirements are met.

  • High Asset Divorce – Dividing complex financial portfolios or business interests requires careful planning and experienced counsel.

  • Collaborative Divorce – A non-adversarial option where both parties work toward a mutually beneficial outcome with professional guidance.
