Divorce, also know as “Dissolution of Marriage,” can be simple, or it can require resolving many different issues that can make the case much more complicated. Are there children involved? Were assets acquired before or after the marriage? When were debts incurred? Is it appropriate to seek alimony (spousal support)? Was there a prenuptial agreement? Is a business involved? What effect will the divorce have on my retirement accounts? Did infidelity or abuse occur? At Greater Tampa Law, we make sure that we speak with our clients about these and many other issues, as they all can have a bearing on how a case gets resolved. Most importantly, we have the knowledge and experience to successfully deal with any issues that may arise in a divorce.

What about my children?

When the marriage involves children, Florida law requires that the Court enter an Order called a “Parenting Plan.” While the Parenting Plan must decide many issues involving the children, one of the most important matters that must be decided is now called “timesharing” (what used to be called custody and visitation). Simply put, timesharing decides when children are to be with each parent. Additionally, the measure of timesharing that a parent is granted can affect the child support that the parent is requested to get or pay. A wide range of things can influence the timesharing issued by the Courts to a parent. We know what makes the difference to judges, and we will work intensively with each client to develop the best case for the timesharing that parents want.

Equitable Distribution of Assets and Debts

In most divorce cases, there is property (“assets”) and debts that must be divided between the two parties this is also known as Equitable Distribution of Assets and Debts. The first question that must be answered is: which assets are “marital assets” and which debts are “marital debts.” As a general rule, marital assets are assets that were acquired by one or both of the parties during the marriage, and marital debts are liabilities that were incurred by either of the parties during the marriage. It may not make any difference who purchased the assets or whose name it is titled in, or in which party’s name the debt was incurred under. What will happen to the home? In what capacity will retirement accounts be managed? What will happen to the family business? Who will be responsible for the mortgage? The knowledge and experience that Greater Tampa Law brings to each client’s case allows us to obtain the best results possible for our clients.
