Family Law Advocates Who Listen To Your Needs And Find Solutions For Your Situation

• Divorce: We represent clients in all aspects of their divorce. Sometimes, couples can reach a settlement quickly in an uncontested divorce. Other times, we protect clients’ rights all the way through trial in a contested divorce. A divorce can also have complicated financial aspects, especially when alimony or spousal maintenance is at issue. Financial matters can also become complicated in a high net worth divorce that involves complex issues regarding the division of marital property.
• Child custody and support: We will work together to negotiate agreements regarding custody, parenting time, and child support issues in addition to representing clients in interstate and international custody disputes.
• Modification of child support: Modifications to child custody, parenting time and child support are often necessary when the provisions outlined in an original decree may no longer be in the best interest of you and/or your family. We will work with you to find a new arrangement that fits your growing needs.
• Spousal support and alimony: Florida law is complicated and often misunderstood in the area of alimony and spousal support. Our attorneys help clients understand the many factors affecting alimony and advise clients on the relief available to them.
• Pre- and postnuptial agreements: A pre- or postnuptial agreement outlines a spouse’s rights and responsibilities should the couple decide to divorce. Our divorce attorneys are available to draft or review such agreements to evaluate legality and enforceability.
• Paternity: When a child in Florida is born to unmarried parents, issues of paternity and legitimation often arise. We represent mothers and fathers who seek to obtain orders regarding child custody, parenting time and child support.
• Domestic violence: Our firm has an in-depth understanding of Florida domestic violence law. We guide clients through the process of filing petitions for temporary protective orders, and we represent clients at hearings regarding the transition from temporary protective orders to permanent protective orders against persons who have committed acts of domestic violence.

Family law matters can be complex, and each case is unique. What is often a highly charged and emotional conflict can often be complicated by other legal aspects such as criminal, bankruptcy, tax and immigration issues. Our attorneys often work together using their individual experience and skill in each of these nuanced areas of the law to come to a solution that fits each clients’ specialized needs.

We Are Allies For LGBTQ Families

We represent same-sex couples in the Miami-Dade area who need a family law attorney and an LGBTQ ally.

Protecting The Rights Of Transgender Children

Every day seems to bring a frightening new legal challenge to the rights of transgender children. In extreme cases, the authorities have even investigated, arrested or removed the children of the parents who provide gender-affirming care.

Our lawyers are passionately committed to protecting the safety, dignity and individuality of trans kids. If your child’s school has penalized them for their gender presentation, refuses to let them use the bathroom of their choice or allows bullying to go unpunished, we are ready to represent you. We can also assist you with custody disputes of transgender children that involve issues such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery.
