DIVORCE

Understanding the Divorce Process

Divorce can be an emotional and legally intricate process. We work closely with our clients to ensure they understand each step, from filing the petition to finalizing the settlement. Our firm assists with:

• Filing for divorce and responding to divorce petitions
• Negotiating fair settlements on asset division and alimony
• Establishing child custody and support arrangements
• Protecting financial interests and business assets
• Advocating for clients in contested divorce proceedings

Types of Divorce

Every divorce case is unique, and the approach we take depends on the specific circumstances of each client. The types of divorce we handle include:

• Uncontested Divorce: When both spouses agree on all major issues, we facilitate a smooth and efficient legal process.
• Contested Divorce: If disagreements arise regarding finances, custody, or property division, we provide strong advocacy in court.
• High-Asset Divorce: Our firm is experienced in handling divorces involving significant financial assets, business interests, and complex property divisions.
• Military Divorce: Military divorces involve unique considerations such as benefits, pensions, and deployment-related custody issues.
• Mediated Divorce: We assist clients in resolving disputes through mediation, helping them reach fair agreements outside of court.

Key Issues in Divorce

Divorce involves several legal and financial considerations. At Gulf Coast Divorce, we work tirelessly to protect our clients' interests in matters such as:



Property Division

Florida follows equitable distribution laws, meaning marital assets and debts are divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. We help clients:

• Identify and categorize marital vs. non-marital property
• Protect business interests and retirement assets
• Negotiate fair asset division agreements



Child Custody & Timesharing

When children are involved, their well-being is the top priority. We help clients:

• Develop parenting plans that prioritize the child’s best interests
• Negotiate timesharing agreements that work for both parents
• Resolve disputes related to custody, relocation, and visitation



Alimony & Spousal Support

Alimony may be awarded based on factors such as the length of the marriage, income disparities, and financial needs. We assist with:

• Determining eligibility for spousal support
• Negotiating or contesting alimony awards
• Modifying alimony agreements when circumstances change



Child Support

Ensuring children receive adequate financial support is crucial. Our firm helps clients:

• Calculate child support obligations based on Florida guidelines
• Enforce child support orders when necessary
• Modify support agreements due to changes in financial circumstances
