Our Practice
We provide representation in a broad range of family law matters, including:
- Divorce. We work closely with individuals at all stages of a divorce, handling the initial filing, negotiating settlements, seeing a client through mediation or trial and helping you request modification or enforcement of an existing divorce order. We handle all matters related to divorce, including child custody, visitation or parenting plans, child and spousal support and the equitable distribution of marital property.
- Domestic violence. We will represent either side in domestic violence proceedings, whether you seek a restraining or protective order, or have been accused of spousal or child abuse.
- Custody and support. We will help you develop and put in place a parenting plan that establishes custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children while allowing you to play a meaningful role in their growth and development. We will also review all proposed child support orders for compliance with Florida guidelines and to confirm that all relevant income has been included in the calculation.
- Stepparent adoptions. We help individuals complete the requirements for a stepparent adoption, including resolving any issues related to the termination of the parental rights of the other biological parent.
