Custody/timesharing can come from a divorce, or through establishing legal paternity when a child is born out of wedlock. I also help modify existing custody orders to help men be more involved with their kids' lives.

I represent men in establishing child support, as well as modifying the amount based on substantial changes in circumstance. I also deal with issues pertaining to Department of Revenue actions.

20%
Divorce and Separation 20%

Although I deal with most aspects of family law, my main focus is representing men in divorce. I have gone through a divorce in Hillsborough County myself and can relate to the challenges men face.

Domestic Violence 20%

DV allegations and false abuse claims can be a common occurrence in toxic relationships, especially during a divorce. Protecting yourself from an unwarranted injunction is vital, especially when trying to obtain custody of your children

Besides men's divorce, I also handle various other issues including: modifications of alimony, post/pre-nuptial agreements, enforcement and contempt, dependency, and paternity.

Amazing service

I would definitely hire Thor again. He is very professional, and he always made sure my questions were answered no matter what it was. Thanks to Thor I was able to have a nice and smooth divorce and was able to obtain 50/50 custody. I highly recommend this attorney.

Modification of parental plan

Mr.Thor Hartwig was able to put our family back together. Reunite a father with his children. He negotiated a great deal with a totally rigid, unyielding ex wife. He modified the visitation on a parental plan that she put into effect by default during a time of crisis. Having a diagnosis of bi-pola...r he looked past the stigma/label society places on you. He was able to look at the evidence, the situation and draw reasonable logical conclusions based on my individual situation. He was an incredible help for a situation that had gone on for way to long. He was professional, knowledgeable, confident & realistic about what was obtainable. Returned calls quickly, addressed my concerns and has reasonable rates. I highly recommend him. He made all the difference. Thank You Joe

Hired the night before;granted 50/50 custody

I hired Thor THE NIGHT BEFORE my custody hearing. We talked for a bit and he told me he would take my case and for a reasonable amount. Thor did an outstanding job in such little time. After not seeing my three kids for about 8 months, due to their mom keeping them away, I was granted 50/50 custody a...nd I will see my kids tomorrow for the first time in 8 months! I'm very grateful and thankful to have found Thor when I did and I would definitely recommend him to any father fighting for his children!

Great Divorce Guidance for Someone Out-of-State

My ex-wife and I were separated, her living in Tampa, FL and myself living in Minnesota, when I hired Thor to guide me through the divorce process. My ex-wife requested the divorce and wanted us to file for the separation jointly. However, I was unsure of what was the best option for myself and my in...terests. I reached out to and hired Thor to guide me through the divorce. Thor walked me through my options for getting a divorce in Florida while living out of state, and helped me find the option that best protected me and my interests. Allowing me to live in Minnesota, yet get divorced in Florida without having to travel to/from during the process. My ex-wife had accumulated credit card debt and purchased a home in Florida that I wanted no interest/liability in. Thor wrote up a MSA for us that specifically protected me and my interests from my ex-wife's debt and home. Thor was a monumental asset throughout the whole process. He broke the divorce process into easy, manageable steps that I could follow with confidence. He made himself available to me through email, phone calls, and texts. Thor answered my numerous and often repetitive questions, consistently providing strong advice. Thor went above and beyond for me. Thor made the divorce process approachable and less daunting. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

All men should go to thor

Thor is the best divorce/child custody attorney for men. I was afraid of not getting equal custody and split child support for my five year old son, as well as afraid of being forced to pay palimony/alimony. This kept me in a miserable relationship for years. Other attorneys told me to give it up,... I had no rights. Then I had a consultation with Thor. He's been there in his own relationship with a child and been thru all the threats. He knew how to protect me and get my rights enforced. He was more than supportive and very accessible every step of the way. I have my son exactly 50% of the time now and he is healthy, happy, and thriving in my care. Men with children: don't give up until you've talked to Thor. Thank you Thor!
