Families often have many legal needs that involve spouses, children, parents, and others with close family relationships. When you’re dealing with people who are close to one another, it’s important to maintain those relationships as much as possible. When you work with our Palm Valley FL family law attorney, we will strive to minimize the stress you are experiencing.
We can help you with the following types of family law cases, and more:
Divorce
No one expects to go through a divorce, and it can be a very difficult situation to deal with. You may have no idea what to do first and where to turn. By working with a Palm Valley FL family law attorney, you will be better equipped to handle the issues that arise in a divorce and protect yourself at the same time.
Your attorney can help you file a divorce petition and submit information about your income, assets, debts, property, etc. Your legal adviser will also review the information submitted by your ex-partner. It’s important to review this information carefully to make sure everything is included in your divorce estate. A Palm Valley FL family law attorney can make sure that you get what you deserve in a divorce.
Annulment
An annulment will establish that your marriage never existed. This can be beneficial in avoiding separation of property. However, you can still seek child support, alimony, custody orders, and more. Consult a Palm Valley FL family law attorney to learn more about annulment.
Legal Separation
Although Florida does not recognize the legal status of “separated,” you can still develop agreements that control your property and debtsduring a legal separation. You may have needs such as spousal support or child support that can also be included in these agreements.
Dissolution of Marriage
If you and your spouse are seeking a dissolution of marriage, a Palm Valley FL family law attorney can complete the process in efficiently and quickly. If you agree on most issues, then the process does not have to be difficult. However, an attorney can make sure you submit all of the appropriate information to the court.
Premarital and Postmarital Agreements
Premarital agreements, such as prenups, are important whether you have a large estate or a small one. You should protect yourself prior to marrying the person you hope to spend the rest of your life with. However, if you do not include everything that might come up during a marriage, you can enter into a postmaritial agreement, such as a postnup, which can protect a business, inheritance, and more.
Child Custody
Child Support
Both parents of a child are responsible for support. That support may include housing, clothing, food, and more. Typically, the custodial parent provides tangible needs for a child and the non-custodial parent provides monetary child support that can help purchase those tangible needs. However, every situation is different. Discuss your specific situation with a Palm Valley FL family law attorney to make sure your child is receiving what they need.
Paternity Issues
It is important to establish paternity in every child custody and child support case. That may involve signing an acknowledgment or using a DNA test to determine who is the father of a child. Once paternity is established, other matters can be handled by a Palm Valley FL family law attorney who will help you determine what is in the best interests for the child.
Father’s Rights
Although society sometimes assumes that mothers have more rights to children, we know that this is not true. In Florida, both mothers and fathers have equal rights and responsibilities to their children. This applies to child custody, child visitation, and child support. If you have questions about your rights and responsibilities, consult with a Palm Valley FL family law attorney.
Modification of Judgments
Situations can change, so you should be able to also change support or custody orders that have been made in the past. Your divorce, child custody, child support, and other judgments may be modified if your circumstances have changed over time. Speak with a Palm Valley FL family law attorney about modification of judgments to make sure your court order meets the needs of your dynamic family life.
