Practice Areas
Family Law
Facing legal issues that involve your family is both emotionally and financially stressful. In order to navigate this process efficiently and cost-effectively, you should seek the help of an experienced lawyer who is competent, compassionate and dedicated to help you obtain the outcome you deserve.
Divorce
A divorce is one of the most challenging times an individual can experience. While some couples prefer prolonged litigation, a majority of my clients seek a swift, uncomplicated divorce that addresses their short- and long-term goals.
Child Custody, Support & Timesharing
Child custody and time-sharing disputes can be difficult for both parents and children. While parents may be adjusting to the new reality of not being able to put their child to bed every night, children are also adjusting to the changes in their lives. Time-sharing, formerly known in Florida as child custody, is essential to support the development and growth of your child. Child support is also important, as it helps to give your child a life close to the one they had before their parents parted.
Alimony
Alimony was designed to support a financially dependent spouse during and after a divorce until the recipient becomes self-sufficient. The amount and duration of available alimony varies greatly for each couple. Determining what works best for you requires the attention of an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer.
Paternity
Establishing paternity in Florida is necessary to initiate child support and child custody (time sharing) rights. Mothers and fathers alike seek the benefits of paternity as they pursue the best interests of their child. An experienced attorney can help you complete the legal process in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a serious issue. If you are a victim of abuse, you must get protection for you and your children as quickly as possible. If you have been accused of committing domestic violence on a loved one, it is essential that you retain an experienced attorney who can aggressively defend your rights.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements provide benefits that reach beyond preserving assets should a marriage dissolve. These agreements can provide guidance as it relates to estate planning, guardianships and more. An experienced attorney can help you understand how to approach your prenuptial agreement in a way that supports your best interests and helps you plan for a secure, protected future.
Modification and Enforcement
Life is full of changes, and some can affect your ability to meet the terms of your divorce agreement or court order. To adjust your agreement, you need a modification from the family law court. Failure to do so may lead to an enforcement order. If you’re not receiving child support or alimony as required, taking enforcement action is crucial. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights and ensure you receive the support you’re entitled to.
Collaborative Law and Mediation
Relationships are complex, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to divorce and family law cases. As Florida law evolves, new dispute resolution approaches aim to support parties in reaching conclusions that serve their best interests. Mediation has gained popularity and, in some cases, is mandatory due to its effectiveness in resolving family law disputes outside of court when both parties appreciate its value and process. These alternative methods enable individuals to seek constructive solutions and achieve positive outcomes tailored to their specific circumstances.
Property Division
Dividing property during and after a divorce can be a very stressful, heated debate if the parties do not have a prenuptial agreement. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which presumes that the value of your marital assets and debt will be divided evenly.
High Net Worth Divorce
High net worth divorce is complex, requiring evaluation and division of numerous financial issues. An experienced attorney is crucial to secure your financial interests. We can guide you discreetly and tailor representation to achieve the best outcome.
Pension & Retirement
Pension and retirement plans can be complex. For individuals navigating high-asset divorce, the division of these accounts can be the difference between a financially sound future and one that is challenging.
