Raising a child is not an easy job on any level, but without monetary support from both parents makes a difficult task monumental. Both parents have an obligation to pay child support whether in a separation, divorce or paternity matter. Florida's child support guidelines can be confusing. Numerous factors are used to reach a number. We work diligently to make sure the support you pay...or receive is correct. Then we use all means to ensure you receive the court ordered support.

Congratulations! You're getting married! Who wants to bring up a prenuptial agreement? YOU! Many people believe that just because you have an asset before marriage it stays separate if you divorce. That is not really true. A prenuptial allows couples to decided what will and what will not become a marital asset as well as protects assets for each party's separate children. You have auto, life and property insurance-get marriage insurance too. If you're already married- we draft postnuptials.
