Divorce Representation
Florida is a no fault state. Your case begins with a petition, mandatory financial disclosures, and either a settlement or a trial if issues remain. We prepare accurate filings, organize financials, and pursue agreements that meet your goals. When litigation is necessary, John’s courtroom experience becomes one of your greatest assets.
Parenting Plans And Support
Florida encourages frequent and continuing contact with both parents when appropriate. We draft workable parenting plans and analyze child support under state guidelines. If a move, job change, or health issue alters circumstances, we pursue modifications that reflect the child’s best interests.
Property Division And Alimony
Florida follows equitable distribution. We help identify marital versus nonmarital assets, handle retirement divisions, and address spousal support based on statutory factors and the length of the marriage. High asset issues receive coordinated attention so financial outcomes are practical and enforceable.
