Time Sharing

Time sharing disputes can arise in the context of divorce, but unmarried parents often fight over time sharing. We can help you understand your rights in this area and seek a time sharing arrangement that works for you. We also have experience establishing paternity.

Child Support

Parents are obligated to financially support all their children even when they do not live with each other. California has drafted complex child support guidelines designed to calculate how much a parent will pay each month. Child support calculations can get messy. Your child might have special needs or high educational expenses, along with unreimbursed medical expenses. Parents need to decide how to allocate these expenses fairly.

Divorce

Our team at Marquez Law will be at your side, whether we are protecting your interests during settlement negotiations or advocating on your behalf in court.

Spousal Support

Divorce might financially devastate one spouse, and regular alimony payments from a higher-earning ex can help ease the transition. A judge will decide whether to award alimony after considering many factors, such as the length of the marriage and the standard of living. Alimony can be permanent or for a fixed length of time.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

A divorce decree is not set in stone. Depending on changed circumstances, you might want to modify child custody, visitation, child support, or alimony. However, getting a judge to agree can be a challenge.

Paternity

Establishing paternity in Florida is a crucial step in securing the legal rights and responsibilities of both parents and ensuring the well-being of the child.
