Divorce comes to mind for most people when considering the area of family law. However, family law consists of a variety of issues involving parenting plans, alimony and child support, equitable division of marital assets, guardianship, domestic violence, and estate planning. Family law covers a wide legal area and issues in these cases often combine with criminal investigations of child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, and no-contact orders. The large array of issues within family law can create lead to contentious disputes. The legal requirements and procedures which apply in these cases can be frustrating and difficult to follow.

Paternity is straightforward under Florida law if a woman is married when she gives birth to a child. Courts presume the legal father of the child is the husband. If the mother is unmarried when the child is born and if the mother and alleged father agree on who the child’s father is, they can sign a “Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity” form.

Although child support is determined based on a formula, it is not always a simple mathematic computation. An error in the calculation could result in you receiving or paying the incorrect amount of child support. There are a lot of variables that seem to be left out when non-lawyers attempt to calculate child support in their own cases.
An Order establishing child support, time-sharing or other issues contained in Final Order of Judgment of Paternity, Dissolution of Marriage or other Family Law matter is can be changed by the Court.
In the excitement of divorce litigation, sometimes parents forget that their children are human beings and not property. Florida Courts view the “best interest of the child” as the legal standard in determining time-sharing schedules and the elements of a parenting plan. In Florida, we call this parental time-sharing.
Florida law does not confer any legally recognized parental rights to stepparents as it concerns their spouse’s minor children from a previous relationship. However, under Florida law a stepparent may be able to adopt those children which would give the married person full and equitable parental rights and responsibility over his or her stepchild.
Domestic violence is violence or other abuse in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence
Everyone in the United States has a legal name. Our legal name is usually listed on our birth certificate which is registered in our U.S. state or country of birth.
Annulment is a legal concept which has been the subject of much misunderstanding among the general public. Many often confuse the concept of a religious annulment of a marriage with that of a legal one.
The two most common types of bankruptcy cases filed by individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies.
