CHILD SUPPORT AND ALIMONY
JACKSONVILLE CHILD SUPPORT LAWYER
As a Jacksonville board certified divorce lawyer, I understand the importance of
financial security for my clients and their children in a divorce
matter.
If you are seeking child support, my office will request that your
children receive the proper amount of child support mandated by
Florida law. If the other parent is attempting to avoid their child
support obligations, is not working when they are capable of
working, or is working a lower paying job just to avoid their child
support payments, I can help you. My office works closely with a
wage earning capacity evaluation expert to show the Court what the
other parent should be earning and therefore what they should be
paying to support their children. We also take great care to
request that the health insurance, life insurance, and other
financial needs of the children are met to provide you with peace
of mind. We can also explain any military benefits to which your
children may be entitled. If you have a court order and the other
parent is not paying their child support without a good reason, we
will ask the judge put them in jail until they pay.
JACKSONVILLE ALIMONY LAWYER
The same is true if you are seeking alimony. A spouse is
sometimes entitled to alimony based upon how long the parties have
been married, the difference in the parties' incomes, and several
other factors including each party's contributions to the marriage.
We will work together to come up with a plan to provide for your
financial security in a divorce which can include permanent
alimony, alimony to help you go back to school and pursue your own
career, or some short term alimony to help you transition into your
new life. We can even explain your health insurance options like
COBRA. Further, we can discuss asking the judge to help your spouse
pay your legal fees.
If you are a parent or spouse who may have to pay some child
support or alimony, we can help you as well. My office vigorously
represents the rights of both men and women. As a board
certified lawyer and divorce expert, I can explain to your
rights and ensure that any child support obligation that you may
have is calculated properly taking into account your income and the
amount of timesharing that you have with your children.
Just as I aggressively seek alimony awards for my clients, when I
represent the spouse who is defending against an alimony request my
representation is no less aggressive. Wage earning capacity
evaluation experts are utilized to show that a spouse can work and
therefore does not need alimony. If you are paying alimony and your
former spouse now is living with someone in a supportive
relationship, call me to discuss terminating your alimony
payments.
There is no substitute for financial security. You should trust
your case to a board certified lawyer and marital and family law
expert to protect your wages or obtain a fair settlement for
you.
I represent both men and women and expect that the Court will
treat both equally. I represent military and other families in
Duval, Clay, Nassau, St. Johns, and Baker Counties. If you are out
of country or state, we can often help you over the phone and
through email. We can also discuss your appearance by phone at
court hearings.
Feel free to email or give me a call. I do not charge a
consultation fee so it costs nothing for us to talk and for you to
learn your rights. I am confident that after we speak, I will have
the pleasure of helping you and your family.
