Divorce

Experienced Divorce Advocacy in Pensacola, Florida

As a zealous advocate, I represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings. With over 39 years of experience at Farrar Law Firm in Pensacola, Florida, I anticipate and address the complex issues of divorce, focusing on equitable property settlements, alimony, division of assets, child custody, child support, co-parenting, time-sharing, visitation, and all other related matters from marriages of any duration.

I am committed to providing the invaluable advice and personalized attention you deserve during this emotional time.

Shared Parental Responsibilities and Child Custody

Divorce Doesn't End Parenthood: Secure Competent Counsel for Custody and Visitation.

Your identity as a parent continues long after a divorce. Whether you pursue a traditional visitation schedule or a flexible co-parenting plan, be it temporary or permanent, you can actively shape positive and productive time with your children. When custody and visitation matters arise, rely on an experienced family law attorney for expert guidance.

Alimony/Child Support

Understanding Alimony: Why Experience Matters.

Determining alimony, also known as spousal maintenance, is a nuanced process. Unlike child support, there are no fixed state statutes dictating the outcome. Instead, family court judges make these decisions, along with those regarding marital property division, based on their discretion. With over 38 years of experience specifically in spousal support cases, I understand the complexities involved and can provide the knowledgeable representation you need to navigate this critical aspect of divorce. Don't leave your future to chance.

Separation and Modifications

Alimony Decisions Require Experienced Legal Counsel.

Unlike child support, the determination of alimony (also known as spousal maintenance) is a complex decision made at the discretion of the family court judge, not dictated by strict state statutes. Don't take chances in court with an inexperienced attorney. With over 38 years of handling spousal support cases, I offer the experienced representation you need.

Personal Injury

Don't Let a Temporary Injury Cause Permanent Damage. Protect Your Future.

Even what seems like a temporary injury can lead to lasting and significant consequences. If you've suffered an accidental injury, you could face substantial medical expenses and a serious impact on your financial stability, potentially jeopardizing your family's future.

During your initial case evaluation, I will listen carefully to your situation and ask detailed questions about your accident to provide a thorough assessment of your claim. I will share my experience with similar cases and explain how our firm can benefit you, as well as outline the legal process from the moment you retain us. My priority is to ensure you receive just compensation when your injury prevents you from working, providing you and your family with the peace of mind you deserve. And remember, you pay no fee unless we win your case.

Auto or Motorcycle Accidents

Life-Changing Injuries from Auto Accidents? Focus on Recovery, We'll Handle the Legal Details.

Auto accidents can result in life-altering injuries, leaving you feeling overwhelmed physically and financially. This trauma can also deeply affect your entire family, causing significant stress. Your priority should be healing and returning to your normal life. Let us manage the legal complexities. We will aggressively advocate on your behalf, ensuring a professionally streamlined legal process free from unnecessary stress.

Motorcycle accidents often lead to even more devastating physical injuries due to the driver's complete exposure. Brain trauma, severe burns, and muscle damage are very real possibilities, resulting in potentially higher medical costs than those from car accidents. This can influence how insurance companies handle claims.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Property Owners Have a Duty to Ensure Your Safety. Learn About Premises Liability.

Businesses and property owners share a crucial responsibility to protect those who visit or are near their property. This includes a legal duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition, free from hazards for customers, patrons, and guests – a concept known as premises liability. This responsibility applies to all property owners.

As an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorney, I strongly advise against underestimating a slip-and-fall injury. The full extent of the damage to your body may not become apparent for weeks or even months, leading to lost work and mounting medical bills. My firm is dedicated to working diligently to secure fair and just compensation for your past and future medical expenses, as well as your past and future lost earnings.

Mediation

Family Law mediation is a process whereby a neutral third person called a mediator acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties through an informal, non-adversarial, but collaborative, consensual, and voluntary process. The objective of a mediation is to help the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. The major advantage to mediation is that the decision-making authority rests with you and your spouse and not with the court.

Represented by Attorneys During Mediation

Empowered Mediation with Your Attorney

As a Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, I provide skilled guidance to you and your attorney throughout the mediation process, helping you navigate this transition with greater ease and clarity.

My primary goal in mediation is to facilitate a resolution that prioritizes the well-being of your entire family, especially your children. While the spousal relationship may end, your role as parents continues. Working collaboratively with your attorney, I can help you shift your focus to a positive future, move beyond past conflicts, and establish a healthy, communicative co-parenting relationship.
