| This
firm has over 20 years of combined experience in the practice of family
law both traditional and non traditional. |
|
By the term
“traditional family law ” we refer to legal issues arising between
husbands and wives and their children. The Florida statutes set the
ground rules to resolve most of the conflicts that arise in a
traditional family. Examples of such conflicts include divorce, child
support and custody, paternity, enforcement of marital settlement
agreements, and domestic violence or repeat violence injunctions.
By the term
“non traditional family law” we refer to disputes between gay
couples, lesbian couples, adult children living with an elderly parent,
or folks living together who have not married pursuant to the laws of
state government. Because Florida law does not recognize “common law
marriage” or unions with same sex partners, ground rules for
resolution of these disputes are more problematic. None the less, these
relationships which are often long term emotionally and financially,
require distribution of real property and personal property, as well as
asset and debt allocation.
Our firm
has a strong commitment to representing our clients with the utmost
confidentiality and respect for privacy, because of the close knit
community in which we all live. However, we believe that nothing should
override the best interests of our clients and the children of this
community.
We offer a
reduced price consultation to discuss the facts
of your particular situation and to inform you of the laws which impact
your problem. We find so often that folks obtain their family law
education at the beauty shop or barbershop. Because it is possible to
“do your own” divorce, many folks do so only to their regret later
on. Family law matters are usually highly charged emotionally. Please
seek competent legal counsel before you act in haste.
