Divorce |
When someone comes in to see me for divorce the first thing I do is explain how the process works. My approach to this is to tell the client upfront what they may be facing. |

Paternity |
In the state of Florida, the mother is the legal guardian of the child. So basically, she is the only one that has control over what happens with a child |

Child Support |
Child support is presumed by law that a parent has the duty and the ability to financially support their child. The state has a program where the parent can go, and for free they will establish child support for you. |

Custody Issues |
Parenting plans have given the judge the authority to make rulings in what he or she believes to be in the best interest of minor children that are involved |
