Providing You With Comprehensive Family Law Services

  • Divorce: We will review all potential options for obtaining a divorce, including uncontested, contested and collaborative divorce. Once you know the route you would like to take, we will pursue a resolution that best fits your needs.
  • Domestic violence: If you have been abused by your spouse or if you have been wrongfully accused of domestic abuse, we can assist in obtaining or fighting restraining orders. We can also work to ensure this issue is properly addressed during a divorce.
  • Prenuptial agreements: Seek our advice on creating prenuptial agreements to help you avoid potential issues in the future.
  • Child support: Child support concerns can arise at any time, including during a divorce or in paternity actions. We can help you obtain support for your child or help you modify an existing child support order.
  • Child custody: We have experience creating parenting plans that take into account all aspects of your family life. This plan manages issues such as religion, schooling, medical care and time sharing.
  • Paternity: We will help you establish paternity so you can seek rights to custody or child support.
  • Spousal support/alimony: Our lawyer, Faith Z. Lodder, can seek out a spousal support arrangement that best fits your situation, including options such as temporary, rehabilitative, permanent and bridge-the-gap alimony. We can also help clients who wish to modify their alimony obligations.
  • Division of marital property: Florida requires the equitable distribution of marital assets and debts, which looks at the parties' situations to determine what is fair. We can present an argument for property division that will best reflect your situation.
  • Post-divorce modifications: If you have experienced a substantial change in circumstances, we can help you modify your existing child support, spousal support or custody order.
