Frequently Asked Questions
What are my custody rights?
In Florida child custody (now called time-sharing) & divorce cases, the court will require the parents to submit a parenting plan for judicial approval. The parenting plan outlines how the parents will share the children’s time, responsibilities, and decision-making authority.
Who gets to keep the house?
When a divorce is filed, the court will order an “equitable distribution” of marital assets and liabilities, including the house. Generally, the court will divide the marital assets and debt/liabilities 50/50 between the couple unless there are factors that would make an equal split inequitable.
How do I file for divorce?
Florida is a “no-fault” state; therefore, you won’t have to provide evidence of adultery or criminal abuse for a divorce. Florida law only requires you to allege the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Will I have to pay alimony?
The fundamental principle guiding an award for Florida permanent alimony is the disparity in the two parties’ monetary resources. However, the disparity in financial resources alone is not enough to justify an alimony award. Instead, it considers one spouse’s ability to pay alimony vs. the other spouse’s need for Florida permanent alimony.
The divorce attorneys at our Tampa law firm provide legal services in a range of practice areas within family law such as spousal support.

Property Division & Distribution
When a married couple divorces, the law states that there should be an equitable distribution of property. However, it’s not uncommon for property division discussions and even collaborative divorces to end with disputes, which can often spill over into other aspects of the divorce. With the right divorce lawyer on your side, you’ll be able to make sure any final agreement and post-judgment modifications are made with your legal rights in mind.

Parents’ Rights, Child Custody, and Time-sharing
Florida divorce law requires that a parenting plan is filed if a marriage that involves minor children is to be dissolved. The court will make a decision based on what is in the child’s best interest – so it’s vital that you work with a Tampa family law group that understands how these decisions are made and will present your case for parental rights in a compelling way.

Relocation
Today more than ever, people relocate across the U.S. for many reasons – including work opportunities, more expansive family locations, new relationships, and much more. However, Florida family law is clear that if a custodial parent moves 50 miles or more from the primary residence, written consent or court approval is needed. As a Tampa law practice focused on family matters, you can trust the family lawyer you work with to guide you through the process of making sure your and the child’s best interests are front and center when decisions are made.

Paternity
Paternity cases are often brought when a parent disputes a man’s parental relationship with a child. As well as being incredibly complex in the first instance, paternity cases will often lead to other kinds of family law cases, including parental responsibility, child support, custody disputes, and sometimes even a divorce case. Whether you seek to prove or disprove paternity, you need an experienced attorney by your side to make sure your rights are protected through these complicated family law disputes.

Step-parent Adoption
40% of families in the U.S. are blended – with at least one partner having children from a previous relationship. Unfortunately, the law here in Tampa, FL is that step-parents have no legal rights concerning step-children. However, our experienced attorneys can guide you through the step-parent adoption process – making sure nothing stands in the way in this often-complicated process.

Domestic Violence
Sadly, around 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Domestic abuse is an often misunderstood part of the law – especially since it does not require physical violence or a personal injury to have taken place, and the aggressor can be anyone in your home or broader family. We handle all domestic abuse cases with the utmost sensitivity and do everything we can to ensure everyone is protected – even if that means obtaining a court order.
Grandparent’s Rights
Grandparents can be a crucial part of a child’s upbringing – but they’re often overlooked when the next generation handles divorce or separation proceedings. Since courts often make decisions around grandparents’ visitation and access rights, we’ll provide representation that ensures your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
