Divorces are either contested, meaning the spouses have not come to an agreement on their own, or uncontested, often referred to as a simple divorce. An uncontested divorce happens when the spouses agree on all issues required to dissolve the marriage.

Expert Legal Support for Complex Contested Divorces

While common, contested divorces are more complicated simply due to the number of issues the spouses must agree on. Our attorneys have experienced numerous disputed issues, but the most common are division of property and alimony.

Alimony
Child Support

Alimony

Whether your marriage lasted 2 years or 52 years, facing divorce is frightening. Adding to that stress is the unknown of going from a dual-income household to a single income, especially when you have children. As you are going through your divorce, you need a legal team you can rely on to alleviate anxiety as it relates to spousal support. Our dedicated team of alimony lawyers provides compassionate legal service during your time of need. In Florida, there are different forms of alimony, and our attorneys will spend time understanding your specific situation and determining the alimony that is best for you. These are a few of the more common contributing factors:

  • Standard of living established during the marriage
  • Duration of the marriage
  • Financial resources
  • Earning capability
  • Contributions to the marriage
  • Children
  • Sources of income

We will review all options with you prior to making any decisions. Once you are awarded alimony, it can be modified if there is a justified reason, such as a substantial change in circumstance or if a former spouse has remarried. Alimony can be complicated. Do not try to navigate these complex waters alone. Trust the experienced team of attorneys at Florida Women’s Law Group. We are committed to providing you with a positive experience while seamlessly handling the meticulous details.

Child Custody

One of the most exciting times in a mother’s life is the moment she finds out she is going to be a mom. As women, we immediately become attached to our children, even when they are the size of a sesame seed. You are so in tune with your children, their needs, and their emotions. The most difficult moment a mother can face is having to establish paternity in order to obtain a child custody agreement. In these cases, the easiest way to establish paternity is through a court-ordered legal process that includes a blood DNA test. Once paternity is established, the parents will create a parenting plan.

The parenting plan is a document that directs how parents will care for the children. It outlines time sharing, responsibilities, and decision-making for the children. These cases are incredibly delicate and emotional. Our dedicated team of paternity attorneys provides compassionate legal service during your time of need. We are here for you now, throughout the process, and once paternity has been established. We have the experience, resources, and skills required to provide you with empathetic and compassionate legal service.
