Alimony is a hotly contested area of family law. It is hard to predict, sometimes hard to get and requires a thorough analysis of the needs and abilities of the parties to pay their own expenses.
While child support in Florida is determined by income, overnights and statutory deductions, sometimes the calculator is not as clear as it seems. If you need child support, need it modified or you aren't getting what you are owed, we can handle it.
Pre-Nuptials or Antenuptial Agreements are one of our favorite parts of family law because we get to work with clients who are falling IN love instead of OUT of love. Pre-martial agreements can save marriages!

Child abuse and False Allegations of child abuse are the toughest cases in family law. This is our wheelhouse. From sexual abuse to parental alienation, it takes a patient & persistent attorney to unravel this complex web to ensure child safety.
When a person is a victim, they need careful attention. When you have been accused or falsely accused, you need a strong advocate. My office is skilled at being a protector for both parties in these difficult cases.
