Spousal Support
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Spousal Support
Florida law classifies spousal support (alimony) into four types: durational, rehabilitative, temporary, and bridge-the-gap, with a 2023 law change eliminating permanent alimony. Alimony provides financial support based on a spouse’s need and the other spouse’s ability to pay. Factors such as marriage length, a spouse’s self-sufficiency, substantial assets, and refusal to work can affect the court’s decision to award or deny alimony.
Child Custody
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Child Custody
When parents consider child custody, they are usually referring to where a child will primarily live if the parents are divorcing or no longer together. Courts decide a child’s primary residence based on the “best interests of the child” standard, which can be subjective. Because of this, if you are facing a child custody dispute, you need the guidance of an experienced child custody attorney.
Child Support
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Child Support
The amount of child support you may receive or pay depends in large part on both parents’ income and the time the child(ren) spends with each parent. If you are married and getting divorced, you may request child support as the primary caretaker of the children. If you are single, establishing paternity is essential to secure child support.
Asset Division
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Asset Division
In Florida, marital assets are divided through equitable distribution, meaning a fair—but not always 50/50—split. Courts consider factors such as each spouse’s contributions, financial needs, and the length of the marriage to reach a just outcome. Non-marital assets (such as inheritances or property owned before marriage) are generally excluded but can become marital if commingled with marital assets.
Prenuptial Agreement
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Prenuptial Agreement
If you are considering drafting a prenuptial agreement or are being asked to sign one, consider consulting Sandy B. Becher, an attorney experienced in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements. The process does not have to be stressful or contentious. It is simply part of a broader conversation every couple should have about finances and legal rights before marriage.
Relocation
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Relocation
In Florida, parental relocation with a child requires either a signed written agreement from the non-relocating parent submitted to the court or filing a Petition to Relocate if no agreement exists. A court will review the petition, and if contested, a hearing will be scheduled. The court considers the child’s best interest, the benefits of the move for the child, and how the parent-child relationship with the non-relocating parent will be maintained.
Postnuptial Agreement
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
Postnuptial Agreement
A postnuptial agreement in Florida is a contract signed by spouses after marriage. Both spouses must provide full financial disclosure, and the terms must be fair and reasonable. Florida courts recognize these agreements if they meet execution requirements and are not unfair, void, or against public policy, such as including clauses about child custody or encouraging divorce.
Domestic Violence
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
