Without competent legal counsel you could end up having to pay more alimony than you should, or on the other hand not receiving as much as you are entitled to. Florida divorce law does not have any concrete guidelines that courts must follow when determining alimony payments. The family law court will have a lot of discretion to decide if alimony will be awarded, for how long it will be given…

Our Tampa divorce attorneys are also highly skilled in bankruptcy as it relates to a divorce. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often referred to as a restructuring bankruptcy because unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy a borrower will not be required to sell their assets. Instead, a borrower will restructure and consolidate their debts into a court approved payment plan. In some cases, our Tampa bankruptcy lawyers are able to get the court’s approval of a payment plan that only requires our client to pay a small percentage of the total amount owed. Once the borrower is finished making all of the monthly payments…

Florida is a “no fault” divorce state, which means that you do not have to prove one party is at fault for the marriage troubles. For example, a spouse does not have to provide any evidence of adultery or domestic violence to obtain a divorce in Florida, unlike some other states. The only requirements for obtaining a divorce is to be a Florida resident for at least six months prior to filing for divorce and that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Irretrievably broken is a legal term for saying that the marriage cannot be saved by counseling or other means. The Tampa divorce attorneys at Florida Law Advisers can help with every step of a divorce. The requirements for divorce are minimal, however, the actual process of going through the divorce can be very complex…

In many cases grandparents help raise their grandchildren and have an important role in their lives. Unfortunately, in some situations, a parent will prohibit or restrict the visitation and contact rights of a child’s grandparents. When this occurs, grandparents should seek the aid of an experienced Tampa family law attorney.
Under Florida family law, grandparents and other family members have the right to file a petition with the court requesting visitation. However, a court will only grant visitation rights if a grandparent can show it will be in the child’s best interests, and that there would be a significant detriment to the child if visitation rights are not granted.

Mediation provides solutions to help negotiate a settlement between two parties. Unlike a Florida family law judge, the mediator does not have the authority to compel the party to enter into an agreement, or the power to dictate the terms of the marriage dissolution. Typically, the mediator will be a Tampa divorce attorney who is impartial and has no stake in the outcome of the divorce.
Mediation gives the parties more control over the divorce and allows them to customize the marital settlement to fit their specific needs. Rather than having a judge dictate the terms of the divorce, the mediator and both parties work together to develop an individualized marital settlement agreement. The mediator listens to both sides of the argument and helps propose innovative solutions on which both parties can agree.

Paternity is a legal adjudication that establishes a parental relationship between a man and a child. In Florida, when a child is born to a married couple the husband is presumed to be the child’s biological father. Therefore, most paternity suits are between unmarried parties. Paternity suits are often filed when a man denies fathering a child or a mother disputes a father’s parental relationship to the child. A paternity case may have the same issues as a divorce case because it involves children, and issues such as parental responsibility, child support, and visitation will need to be resolved. Paternity cases can be very complex and difficult without competent legal representation. Contact a Tampa family law attorney at Florida Law Advisers, P.A. for a free consultation to discuss all of your legal options.

Contact the Tampa divorce attorneys at Florida Law Advisers, P.A. to discuss the post nuptial agreement that suits you and your spouse.

When a couple decides to divorce they will need to make decisions regarding the distribution of their property. If a couple is unable to reach an agreement, a Florida family law court will step in and divide the property for them. Under Florida divorce law, the court must make an equitable division of the marital property. Equitable division means the court will divide the marital property evenly between the two parties unless there are reasons to justify one party being awarded more than 50% of the property. Contact a Tampa divorce lawyer at Florida Law Advisers, P.A. for a free consultation to discuss your property distribution needs.

Florida family law encourages parents to share the rights, responsibilities, and joys of raising their children together. If a custodial parent moves 50 miles or more away from the primary residence, it may make frequent and continued contact with both parents unattainable. Therefore, Florida child custody law will require the relocating custodial parent to either: obtain written consent from the other parent or obtain court approval before relocating with the child more than 50 miles from the primary residence. Contact a Tampa family law attorney at Florida Law Advisers, P.A. today to discuss relocation and all of your other Florida family law needs

When a single parent remarries, a stepparent takes on the responsibility of raising, caring, and loving their spouse’s child. In most cases, both the children and stepparents will form a close bond together – much like the bond that biological parents and their children share. However, under Florida family law, stepparents have no legal rights with respect to the child. Therefore, many stepparents will adopt their stepchild and form a parent-child relationship in both their eyes and in the eyes of the law. The Tampa family attorneys at Florida Law Advisers, P.A. can help with all of your family law needs.

If you and your spouse are able to agree on all of the terms of the divorce, you may want to consider filing for an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce covers all of the same issues as a contested divorce. However, in an uncontested divorce you and your spouse enter the legal proceedings with an agreement on the terms of the dissolution. An uncontested divorce is beneficial because it helps decrease the level of animosity that a contested divorce can create. In addition, the process of dissolving the marriage can be more efficient and far less expensive than a contested divorce. Contact a highly skilled Tampa divorce attorney from Florida Law Advisers, P.A. today for a free consultation.
