How Our Attorneys Can Help With Divorce Cases

Ending your marriage through divorce will require you to address a large number of legal and financial concerns. Depending on the complexity of your case and the specific issues that will need to be addressed, you may choose to take a number of different approaches. We can help with multiple types of divorce cases, including:

• Uncontested Divorce: You and your spouse may be able to reach agreements on all major issues in your case, including property division, alimony, child custody, and child support. You can negotiate a settlement, which will then be filed in court and approved by a judge. This type of divorce is typically less contentious, and it can often be completed more quickly. Our attorneys can help ensure that all agreements are fair and legally binding, protecting your rights while minimizing the emotional and financial strain of the process.
• Contested Divorce: If you and your spouse are unable to agree on one or more key issues, you may need to resolve these matters in court. A divorce that involves litigation can be more time-consuming and stressful, but court involvement may be necessary if there are high levels of conflict or other reasons for unresolved disputes. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in contested divorces. We can advocate for your interests in court and help you achieve a favorable outcome to your case.
• Military Divorce: When one or both spouses serve in the U.S. military, a variety of additional legal considerations may need to be addressed, including the division of military pensions and benefits and child custody arrangements during a parent’s deployment. Our firm understands the unique challenges that military families face, and we can help navigate these cases effectively.
• International Divorce: When a spouse is an immigrant to the United States or decides to move outside the country during or after a divorce, a variety of complex legal issues may need to be addressed, including jurisdictional concerns and the enforcement of divorce orders in different countries. Our attorneys are well-versed in the legal frameworks governing international divorces, and we can help ensure that our clients’ rights are protected in these cases.

Addressing Key Divorce-Related Issues

The outcome of your divorce can have long-lasting effects on your financial security, your relationship with your children, and your overall well-being. Our attorneys can help you address a wide range of issues that may arise during your case, including:

• Property Division: Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means that marital property is divided in a manner that is fair but not necessarily equal. Our firm will work diligently to ensure that all marital assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, and business interests, will be accurately valued and fairly divided between you and your spouse.
• Alimony: Spousal support, may be awarded to one spouse to ensure that they can maintain their standard of living during and after a divorce. We can help you negotiate alimony arrangements as part of your divorce settlement or advocate in court for spousal support orders that will provide for your financial needs.
• Child Custody and Child Support: Divorcing parents will need to address a variety of issues related to their children, including determining how they will share legal and physical custody and putting support arrangements in place to ensure that children’s ongoing needs will be met. Our firm works to protect the best interests of children in these cases while advocating for our clients' parental rights.
• High Net Worth Divorce: Cases involving high incomes or significant assets can become complex as spouses address different types of financial issues, such as the valuation of assets, tax implications, and the protection of business interests. Our attorneys have experience managing these sophisticated cases, and we work to ensure that your financial interests will be safeguarded throughout the divorce process.
• Divorce Modifications and Enforcement: After the divorce process is complete, circumstances may change, and existing orders regarding alimony, child custody, or child support may need to be updated. In some cases, ex-spouses may need to take steps to enforce court orders if the other party fails to comply with their legal obligations. Our firm can help you seek modifications or take steps to ensure that your ex-spouse follows court orders correctly.

Other Family Law Issues We Can Help Address

In addition to divorce, Miami Family Law Group, PLLC provides legal support in multiple other types of family law cases. Our attorneys can handle issues such as:

• Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Legal agreements between spouses can provide peace of mind by clearly outlining how issues such as the division of assets or spousal support will be handled in the event of a divorce. Our attorneys can draft, review, and negotiate these agreements to ensure that they reflect our clients’ intentions while providing legal protections.
• Adoption: Adopting a child is a joyful process, but it can also be legally complicated. Whether you are pursuing a domestic adoption, international adoption, or stepparent adoption, our firm can help you understand your legal requirements, and we can provide legal representation to ensure that the adoption proceeds smoothly.
• Paternity: Establishing legal parentage can be an essential step that will secure a father's rights and responsibilities regarding his child. Our attorneys assist with the legal process of establishing paternity, which can impact child custody and child support while also providing a child with important benefits.
• Parental Relocation: When a parent wishes to move with their child following a divorce or when sharing custody, modifications to existing court orders may be necessary. Florida law requires a relocating parent to obtain consent from the other parent or approval from the court. Our firm helps clients navigate the legal process of parental relocation, advocating for solutions that serve the best interests of the child.
• Domestic Violence: Physical, verbal, or emotional abuse of spouses, children, or other family members is a serious issue that requires immediate legal intervention. Our attorneys are committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our clients by helping them obtain restraining orders and ensuring that they can address related legal issues, such as divorce and child custody.
