While our office is located in Tavares, we proudly serve clients throughout Lake County and the surrounding Central Florida communities. If your case involves Florida family law, our team is here to represent you with compassion and strength.
In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all major issues such as property division, child support, and timesharing, which makes the process faster and less costly. A contested divorce involves disputes that require negotiation, mediation, or court intervention. We handle both types of divorce and will guide you toward the most effective path for your situation.
Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral mediator helps both parties reach an agreement without going to court. Our attorneys represent you during mediation to ensure your rights are protected while working toward a fair and amicable resolution.
It’s helpful to bring any relevant documents, such as financial records, prior court orders, or correspondence related to your case. Most importantly, bring your questions and concerns — our goal is to provide clarity and outline your options during the consultation.
Yes. In Florida, paternity must be legally established before a father has rights to custody (timesharing). We assist fathers in establishing paternity and securing their rights, while always keeping the child’s best interests at the center.
The timeline varies depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months, while contested cases may take longer due to negotiations, mediation, or court hearings. We will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific circumstances.
Not always. Many family law matters, such as uncontested divorce or mediation, can be resolved outside of court. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to advocate for you in family court.
