Family Law We Handle in West Palm Beach
Property division is the process of sorting marital assets and debts, from bank accounts to retirement plans to the family home, into what each spouse keeps. Florida starts from the assumption that this should be an equal split and adjusts from there based on the specifics of the marriage.
Our property division guide walks through how marital and non-marital assets are classified and divided. We also help West Palm Beach families with:
-
Divorce: Navigating the Florida divorce process from filing through final judgment, whether the case is contested or uncontested.
-
Child Custody: Developing, modifying, or enforcing parenting plans and time-sharing schedules that reflect your child’s best interests.
-
Child Support: Establishing, calculating, or modifying child support under Florida’s guidelines.
-
Alimony: Seeking or responding to spousal support requests, including questions about eligibility, the amount, and the duration of payments.
-
Paternity: Establishing legal paternity to address parental rights, time-sharing arrangements, and child support obligations.
-
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements: Preparing agreements that clarify financial expectations, define property rights, and help minimize the risk of future disputes.
