Nothing could be more difficult than a battle over time with your child. Parents not only have the right to share in their child's life, but Florida Courts have found that children are best served in the care of both of their parents. This is the rule, rather than the exception, except where one parent would pose a detriment to their child. Whichever the case, we are here to ensure for your right to parent your child, even where an underlying romantic relationship has ended. 

Let's face it, this is a tough one. Apart from the pain of a failed human connection, the legal resolution of the ties that bind can quickly become overwhelming. The often-disputed legal issues range from the division of assets and debts, alimony, parenting and child support, to the payment of the other's attorney's fees.  We will take on these burdens and advocate for a just and fair resolution while you heal. 

Change is a natural part of life's path, but it can also trigger changed legal circumstances.  This can present itself in alimony obligations where changed financial circumstances warrant modification.  Those same changed finances can also merit adjustments to child support.  And where unforeseen circumstances arise that affect a minor child, the governing parenting plan may too call for modification.  Our team has significant experience meeting the heightened burden of proof in these cases.  We will help you navigate your way towards justice in the midst of change.

While the vast majority of trial courts get it right, the right to appeal arises where legal error adversely affects your family law matter.  The process is complicated and extremely time sensitive.  That said, it is crucial to seek counsel if you want to explore justice beyond the trial court's doors.  Richelle is well-versed in these matters and has argued before the First, Second and Fourth District Courts of Appeal, as well as the Florida Supreme Court.
