Experience in Family Divorce Law
Choosing Divorce Law Attorneys, Daytona Beach
If you’ve never navigated the difficult waters of divorce, you may not understand the many laws governing the legal end to a marriage. Adding to an already challenging situation, Florida divorce laws are ever-changing, and without the most experienced divorce law attorney Daytona Beach has to offer, you could be negatively impacted.
Case in point? In 2013 Florida Gov. Rick Scott vetoed a bill that would have put an end to permanent alimony in Florida. If it had been passed, the legislation would have applied retroactively, meaning that already determined alimony cases would have been affected and impacted many financially. Divorce law firms need to stay well-informed to provide you with the best counsel possible.
Experience in Family Divorce Law, Daytona Beach
As a long-time divorce law attorney, Daytona Beach is an area I’m familiar with, and I make it a point to stay up-to-date on the many changes and nuances of Florida divorce laws. Certified by the Florida Supreme Court as a Family and County Court Mediator, I opened my divorce law firm—Daytona Beach-based—to dedicate my practice to family law, injunctions for protection, criminal defense and civil litigation.
Some things to consider before seeking out divorce law lawyers:
- Daytona Beach residents, and those in other parts of Florida, can file for divorce if either you or your spouse has lived in the state for at least six months.
- In Florida, and particularly Daytona Beach, divorce law attorneys can file a petition for dissolution of marriage that alleges the marriage is irretrievably broken.
- The divorce process, when navigated by an experience divorce law lawyer, usually takes 3-6 months.
- When determining whether to award alimony, the court determines if either party has an actual need for alimony and if either party has the ability to pay alimony. Divorce law attorneys are instrumental in helping with this important part of the dissolution process.
