Board-Certified Tampa Family Law Attorneys

Family Law Services We Handle in Tampa

Divorce is a difficult process involving many components. We work with clients on all attendant issues, as well as several other areas of family law.

Our services include the following:

• Alimony: Spousal support may be granted if one party lacks the ability to be self-supporting. Our family lawyers in Tampa will advise you on the numerous factors that judges consider in an alimony case. 
• Child Custody: We work to establish fair custody arrangements so that children can grow up in a healthy environment and maintain relationships with both parents whenever possible. The paramount consideration is always the child's best interest, and we strive to craft arrangements that support their emotional and developmental well-being. 
• Visitation & Parental Rights: The court usually awards regular visitation to a non-custodial parent when contact is in the child's best interest. We work to protect our clients’ parental rights. This includes ensuring that visitation schedules are practical and serve to strengthen the parent-child bond. 
• Child Support: Our firm represents clients when conflicts arise related to the establishment, modification, or enforcement of child support. We recognize that circumstances change, and we assist in making necessary adjustments that reflect the current realities while adhering to Florida guidelines.
• Domestic Violence: We assist victims in obtaining protective orders and represent persons targeted by such orders, protecting their due process rights and working toward a fair resolution.
• Marital Agreements: We help clients who are engaged or married protect their property rights by negotiating, drafting, and reviewing both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These agreements are tailored to safeguard assets and clarify financial responsibilities, which can be beneficial for both parties in maintaining transparency and avoiding future disputes.
• Appeals: Appellate law is unique, and lawyers must grasp the issues that can make a difference on appeal. We do.
• Legal Separation: If you are not ready or able to get divorced, we can help you file for a legal separation, settling all the same issues you would with a final divorce.
• Relocation: Child custody disputes can be intense when a custodial parent seeks to relocate at a distance that burdens the other parent’s visitation rights. We work to help couples resolve their disagreements.
• Post-Divorce Modification: When circumstances in your life change substantially, it may be time to ask the court to modify aspects of the original divorce settlement. Changes might be due to shifts in income, relocation needs, or evolving familial responsibilities. 
• Enforcement: When one spouse fails to fulfill their legal obligations, we can help the other spouse secure the appropriate remedy. 
• Paternity: We represent single mothers, putative fathers, and children in actions to establish paternity for purposes of child support, child custody and visitation, and inheritance.
• Name Changes: We help clients legally change their names after a divorce or when paternity has been established. This process is not merely administrative; it represents new beginnings and often involves important legal and identity considerations.
