Fathers who have not married the mother of their child need to establish parental rights by bringing a court action called a paternity action.

There are two types of contracts/agreements that a couple may enter before or after they have married.

In Florida, relocation is addressed by law in Florida Statutes Section 61.13001.

In a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce), the court will seek to divide (officially termed “equitably distribute“) all marital property.

Any change in child support will be modifiable retroactive to the date that you officially filed the petition for modification.

In the State of Florida, a man becomes a legally recognized father in one of two ways; through marriage to the mother prior to the birth of the child or through a Paternity Order from the Court.

Once an order is entered requiring a parent to pay child support, that support will vest on the day that it is due.

In a Florida domestic relations case, such as divorce or paternity, there is no such thing as “child custody.”

There are different types of alimony that you may be entitled to: temporary alimony, bridge-the-gap alimony, rehabilitative alimony, durational alimony, and permanent alimony.

When a parent wishes to move, it will always be easy to prove why the move is good for the parent.

In a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce), the court will seek to divide (officially termed “equitably distribute“) all marital property.

Both parents have a right to parent their child. Bad parenting is not illegal.
