Florida Family Law Services We Offer
We provide comprehensive family law services to clients in Fleming Island, Orange Park, Jacksonville, Green Cove Springs, Middleburg, Palatka, and surrounding areas across Northeast Florida.
Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage)
Whether contested or uncontested, divorce involves the division of property, financial support, and parenting decisions. We handle:
- Property and debt division
- Alimony (spousal support)
- Parenting plans and time-sharing
- Military divorces
- Mediation and trial representation
We work to minimize conflict and cost, while protecting your rights and your future.
Child Custody & Parenting Plans (Timesharing)
Florida law focuses on the best interests of the child — not on “winning custody.” We help parents create fair, enforceable plans involving:
- Time-sharing (physical custody)
- Parental responsibility (decision-making authority)
- Parenting plans that work long-term
- Social investigations and guardian ad litem involvement
If necessary, we will advocate for sole parental responsibility in cases where shared parenting is not safe or appropriate. If you would like to read more about parenting issues in Florida, please click here to visit a resource from the Florida Bar.
Child Support
We represent both custodial and non-custodial parents to ensure that child support is fair and compliant with Florida’s Child Support Guidelines. We handle:
- Establishment of support
- Modification of support
- Enforcement of unpaid child support
- Florida Department of Revenue involvement
Modifications
Life changes — and sometimes court orders must too. We assist with modification of:
- Time-sharing and parenting plans
- Child support orders
- Alimony agreements
We’ll help you prove a substantial change in circumstances and guide you through mediation or court, if needed.
Enforcement & Contempt
If a parent or former spouse is violating a court order — such as refusing visitation or not paying support — we can help you file for enforcement or contempt. We also represent clients defending against these actions.
Paternity
Establishing or disputing paternity is critical when it comes to:
- Child support
- Parental rights
- Time-sharing and visitation
We assist both mothers and fathers in paternity actions, ensuring the legal rights and responsibilities of both parties are clearly defined.
Adoption
We guide families through:
- Stepparent adoptions
- Adult adoptions
We ensure all legal requirements are met and represent you in adoption hearings to make the process as smooth and joyful as possible.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Protect your future before or after marriage. We draft and review custom agreements that address:
- Property and debt division
- Business ownership
- Spousal support
- Estate planning considerations
Domestic Violence & Injunctions
If you or your child is experiencing abuse, we act fast to help you secure:
- Temporary and permanent restraining orders (injunctions)
- Emergency custody protections
- Safe separation and legal strategy for divorce or paternity cases
We handle these matters with the sensitivity and urgency they deserve.
Dependency & DCF Cases
If the Department of Children and Families (DCF) is involved in your life — whether due to an investigation or removal — we can help you:
- Respond to child protective investigations
- Challenge removals and shelter hearings
- Navigate case plans and reunification
- Defend against termination of parental rights
