We offer knowledgeable, dependable representation in the following practice areas: Family law - Our dedicated team handles family law issues for clients throughout Boca Raton and South Florida. Divorce - Through litigation and mediation, we focus on achieving our clients' divorce goals in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County and throughout South Florida. High-net-worth divorces - Our firm applies its extensive experience to guide clients toward successful property settlements in high-net-worth divorces, including those of healthcare professionals. We provide effective solutions to complex situations involving division of assets and support and alimony issues. Child custody and parenting plans - Our attorneys help parents establish lawful child custody and parenting arrangements. Relocation - As divorced parents move on with their lives, the issue of child relocation often arises. We advocate for our clients' parental rights with cognizance of the children's best interests. Paternity - We guide the mother or the assumed father through the process of proving or disproving paternity. Afterward, we assist with establishing child support and timesharing rights, as appropriate. Child support - We help divorcing parents calculate accurate child support payments under Florida's guidelines. Post-judgment modifications and enforcement - If issues arise after the divorce, we guide our clients through post-judgment modifications and enforcement of the terms of the agreement. Domestic violence, restraining orders and injunctions - We operate with compassion and discretion as we help victims of domestic violence obtain restraining orders to protect their families. Alimony and spousal support - We negotiate an equitable lump-sum or monthly spousal support payment for our clients. Parental rights - The state must meet a high burden of proof to terminate parental rights. We demand that our clients' rights be restored if adequate and irrefutable evidence was not presented or is legally insufficient. Cohabitation issues - Although same-sex couples are not permitted to marry under Florida law, we employ other legal methods to protect our clients' rights, including mediated settlement agreements for domestic partners and/or cohabitating partners who decide to separate. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements - We understand that a prenuptial or postnuptial contract can be a sensitive topic. Our lawyers negotiate and draft terms that protect and respect both spouses. Litigation - Our litigation attorneys doggedly pursue clients' interests regarding business claims, breaches of contract, mortgages, lien foreclosures, personal property recovery and judgment enforcements. Foreclosure defense - We fight to preserve our clients' rights to their homes through foreclosure defense actions and loan modifications.
