Divorce and separation can be one of the most trying experiences one will face in life. That is why my priority as lawyer is to not only work tirelessly to ensure fair distribution of assets and liabilities, and to create a reasonable child time sharing agreement, but to also make the process as stress free as possible for my clients.
In recent years, through legislative changes, Florida has replaced the term "child custody" for a more cooperative phrase "time sharing with the minor child." With my years of experience, I will help you negotiate a time sharing parenting plan that will provide you with set time sharing terms in writing which may be enforced in court during your child's minor years.
Child support is established by the Florida Legislature. Child support guidelines are calculated after the parties income is established. The Legislature lists what is considered income for purposes of establishing child support. Experience is important here. An attorney willing to do research to find the exception or the case on point and to make the argument to the court can make a huge difference in the amount of support ordered by the court.
