We Handle an Array of Family Law Issues
Family legal matters are often complex. They often involve people who have close relationships with one another, and it’s easy for those relationships to experience strain under the stress of legal problems. Family law cases also require interaction with a court system that has particular procedures and deadlines. That’s why it’s best to work with a Ponte Vedra Beach family law attorney who has special knowledge of local courts and judges. We can make sure you protect your rights throughout the court process, as well as ensure that everyone’s needs are met.
We can help with the following types of cases:
Divorce
When you think you’ll spend the rest of your life with a person, it can be devastating to learn that the relationship is ending. A divorce is one of the most emotional and difficult things a person can go through. You need someone by your side who can support you through the turmoil that will occur. Our Ponte Vedra Beach FL family law attorney can help you develop a sensible plan to end your marriage and manage property, assets, debts, and other matters that must be addressed in a divorce.
Annulment
You may wish to seek an annulment instead of a dissolution of your marriage. This would make it so that your marriage never occurred. Some benefits include retaining personal property, insurance plans, and retirement benefits. However, it can be difficult to prove that your marriage never legally occurred. You need the help of a Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney to manage this situation.
Legal Separation
Although Florida does not recognize “legally separated” as a status, you can still form legal agreements with your partner that will be enforced during your separation. These documents will be enforced as contracts, which can address alimony, child support, child custody and visitation, and property. A Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney can review your documents or draft them for you to ensure that you protect your rights.
Dissolution of Marriage
When ending a marriage, you should work with a Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney who understands the law and can make it work for you. You don’t want to leave any stone unturned in your dissolution of marriage case. Make sure you address every element of your marriage so you don’t have to revisit the dissolution in the near future.
Pre- and Post-Marital Agreements
If you have a pre-nup or post-nup that you’d like to have evaluated, you can speak with a Ponte Vedra FL family lawyers who can address the validity of the document. You may have been under duress when you signed these agreements, or you may not have understood the specific clauses in them. We can determine whether they are enforceable and help you manage your legal issues.
Child Custody
When parents separate, regardless of whether they were married, determination of child custody and visitation is complicated. The court will work to determine what is in the child’s best interests. That may require an investigation and interviews with people in the child’s life. Work with a Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney to achieve a child custody situation that benefits your entire family.
Child Support
Child support is a legal right of a child. However, the amount of child support is difficult to determine. There are guidelines that the court may follow; however, the court may deviate from those guidelines in many situations. Work with a Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney to establish child support or modify a child support order that is no longer working for your family.
Paternity Issues
It’s important to determine paternity for children, especially when parents are separated. Child custody, visitation, and child support all hinge on the determination of paternity. If you need to establish paternity for a child, you should work with a Ponte Vedra FL family law attorney who can help you navigate the process.
Father’s Rights
Both fathers and mothers have equal rights and responsibilities to children. Although society traditionally favors mothers’ rights, it’s important to protect the father’s rights as well. A Ponte Vedra Beach FL family law attorney can help you avoid bias and obtain child visitation, child custody, and child custody orders that are fair to all parties.
Modification of Judgments
When circumstances change for families, so do orders of the court. Child support, child custody, and even divorce orders may all be changed when situations change after the order has been issued. Modification of these judgments can be difficult to obtain, but it is possible with the help of a Ponte Vedra FL Family law attorney.
