Before obtaining a divorce, you must reach agreements concerning property disposition, child conservatorship, and child support. Our firm, located in the Florida Panhandle, will assist you in reaching these decisions through mediation or litigation. The divorce process begins by filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the court and providing your spouse with notice of the proceeding.

Our family law lawyers also will counsel you about other aspects of a divorce including:

• Temporary orders: Often times, a court will issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) or temporary injunction in the beginning of the divorce proceeding. The court typically issues a TRO after a spouse makes allegations of domestic violence or harassment. An injunction will prohibit your spouse from selling off marital property.
• Discovery: It is necessary during any divorce to determine the financial assets and liabilities of your family. Through the process of discovery, we will determine your spouse's income, marital property and its value, and the financial debt of the marriage.

Experienced Family Law Trial Attorneys

While it is often in your best interest to reach amicable agreements during pre-trial mediation, sometimes your spouse makes that impossible. Disputes concerning child custody arrangements, visitation rights, alimony agreements, support awards, and property distributions often lead to litigation. Even if you and your spouse agree to all the terms of a divorce, you still must obtain approval of your agreement from a family court judge.
