Examples of Divorce Cases We Handle
Contested Divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on issues such as asset division, child custody, spousal support, or parenting time, you need a divorce attorney who will stand up for your rights. We prepare every contested case as if it’s going to trial, while working diligently to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation where possible.
Uncontested Divorce
In situations where both parties can agree on the terms of their divorce, we help clients finalize agreements efficiently and cost-effectively. We ensure all legal paperwork is filed properly, and your rights are fully protected.
High Net Worth
Divorces involving real estate portfolios, investment accounts, or trust assets require attorneys who understand complex financial matters. We collaborate with forensic accountants and financial experts to uncover, value and equitably divide all marital assets.
Military
Military divorces involve unique challenges—from jurisdiction issues to dividing military retirement. We have deep experience handling military divorce in Florida, helping both servicemembers and spouses protect their rights under federal and state law.
What to Expect in a Florida Divorce
-
Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither party needs to prove wrongdoing to file. Instead, you simply must show that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Here’s what the process typically involves:
Filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage
Serving the other party
Financial disclosures and discovery
Mediation or negotiation
Final hearing or trial (if needed)
Our attorneys guide you through each step, ensuring your interests are represented and your legal documents are handled with precision.
-
Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution, which means the court will divide marital property fairly, though not necessarily equally. We help you identify and classify:
Marital vs. non-marital assets
Business interests or ownership stakes
Retirement accounts and pensions
Real estate holdings and vacation properties
Debts and liabilities
If your spouse is hiding assets or undervaluing property, we work with experts to uncover the full financial picture.
-
Your children are your top priority—and ours too. In any Florida divorce involving children, the court requires a parenting plan outlining time-sharing and decision-making responsibilities. We help you build a parenting plan that reflects your child’s best interests while protecting your parental rights.

-
Whether you’re seeking alimony or being asked to pay it, our attorneys provide skilled guidance based on Florida’s alimony laws. We consider:
Length of the marriage
Standard of living
Earning capacity of both parties
Financial needs and available resources
We also assist with modifying or enforcing spousal support after your divorce is finalized.
-
Life changes—jobs move, incomes shift, and parenting schedules evolve. If your circumstances have changed, we can help you modify custody, adjust child support, or update alimony agreements through proper legal channels.
-
If your divorce involves domestic violence, our team takes swift action to protect you and your children. We assist with obtaining protective injunctions, emergency relief, and securing custody arrangements that prioritize safety.
