- Joint Custody

Divorce

- High-Asset Divorce

- Uncontested Divorce 

- Collaborative Divorce 

- Divorce w/Alimony Disputes


Florida recognizes both marriages and divorces. When two people decide to get married, they enter into a legal contract. If the marriage encounters irreparable challenges, the legal process of divorce, or dissolution of marriage, comes into play. The state follows "no-fault" divorce, meaning that neither party needs to prove fault for the marriage breakdown.

Injunction for Protection

- Domestic Violence

- Harassment

- Stalking 


In addition to the various aspects of family law, Florida recognizes the importance of providing protection in cases involving domestic violence, harassment, or stalking. An Injunction for Protection, also commonly known as a restraining order, is a legal remedy available to individuals who feel threatened or endangered by someone with whom they have a domestic relationship. This legal tool aims to create a safe distance between the victim and the alleged perpetrator, establishing clear boundaries and prohibiting certain actions. In family law cases, these injunctions play a crucial role in safeguarding individuals and their families from harm.
