We Have Answers to Your Questions About Getting a Divorce in Florida

When you are considering ending your marriage, a million questions race through your mind. It is next to impossible to make wise decisions about how to proceed until you have answers to your most pressing concerns. As the first step in our Boca Raton law firm's divorce practice, we begin our relationship with each client by providing answers to some of the most important questions, such as:

• No fault divorce: What is no fault divorce? What if my spouse is at fault - has cheated on me or abused me or the children?
• The children: Who is going to get custody? How will I share the children with my ex? Will my spouse be able to prevent me from moving to a new state with the children? Can I make my ex pay for the children's private school?
• The house: Am I going to lose the house? Who is going to be responsible for the mortgage?
• Debts: Do I have to pay for my ex's student loans? How will our credit card debt be divided?
• Property: Do I have to give back the engagement ring or wedding band? Is my spouse going to get part of my trust fund or inheritance? Can I get part ownership of my spouse's business?
• Alimony: Can I get alimony if my spouse is cheating on me? How is alimony calculated?
• Mediation and collaborative divorce law: What is divorce mediation? What is a collaborative divorce? Do we each need a lawyer or can you represent both of us?
• Common law marriages: Florida does not recognize common law marriages. I have been in a committed relationship for a very long time - do I have to be married to get permanent alimony?

Our Family Law Philosophy

At Carman & Smith, we respect the independent streak that leads many couples to attempt do-it-yourself divorces. Do-it-yourself divorces can be successful, and we understand the budgetary concerns that drive many spouses to handle marriage dissolution themselves.

At the same time, we believe that high-quality legal services do not have to cost an arm and a leg. Thorough advice from the experienced lawyers who handle our family law practice is available at rates that will preserve the marriage's financial resources for the spouses and the children - not the lawyers. And you will get the reassurance that comes from knowing that your divorce agreement has been reviewed and vetted by skillful and intelligent divorce lawyers.
