Types of Family Law Cases We Handle

Our experienced Miami divorce lawyers

Focus on helping people navigate their divorce or child custody issues with confidence and care.

Reaching Divorce Settlement Agreements Faster.

If you know your divorce will be messy – or you want to avoid a trial, your Miami divorce mediation lawyer can help navigate you through the mediation process to mitigate cost and stress. Equitable distribution. Alimony. Child support. Relocation. Parenting plans.

Trust us; we get it. It’s daunting to consider going to court for a divorce, paternity judgment, or even changing your existing alimony, child support, or child timesharing judgment with a post-judgment modification. It meanders through multiple layers of bureaucracy and involves changing a lot of paperwork. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Freedom, a new chapter, the ability to look forward to the future.

We’re here to help you plan for it. Family Solutions Sessions are focused on one very specific issue.

You could choose from the following options for your session:

  • Predict likely outcomes for temporary or permanent alimony – what will you have to pay or receive?
  • Calculate expected child support – what will you likely have to pay or receive?
  • Strategize for a realistic division of marital assets – who will likely get what?
  • Develop your ideal parenting plan for child visitation – how will time sharing be split?
  • Changing an existing alimony, child support, or child timesharing judgment with a post-judgment modification – is it likely you can change it?
  • Filling for a paternity judgment – how will establishing the legal father change child support, timesharing, and other parental rights and responsibilities?
  • Relocations – how will your move (or your ex’s) affect time sharing?

A Family Solution Session is also different from your average confidential consultation. Vanessa explains those differences here:

But we can help you prepare and understand the implications of filing a case and going through the divorce process so that you can make the best decision for yourself and your family. An amicable divorce is the goal—let us help you take the right steps toward that.

What Our Clients Say

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

Is mediation required in a Florida divorce?

Often yes. In contested cases, courts frequently require you to attend mediation before any trial can be set, including in Miami-Dade and Broward. A judge can also order mediation earlier in the case.

What happens at divorce mediation?

A neutral mediator helps you and your spouse try to reach agreement. The mediator does not decide the case. With your lawyer, you work through issues like equitable distribution, alimony, child support, and parenting plans, and you can focus a session on a single topic if that is most efficient.

Do I need a lawyer for mediation?

You are not required to have a lawyer, but it is strongly recommended. Power imbalances, complex finances, or missing disclosures can derail mediation if you go alone. An attorney prepares your evidence, protects your rights, and helps you evaluate proposals in real time.

Is mediation confidential and binding?

Mediation discussions are confidential. The mediator cannot be called to testify about your negotiations. If you both sign a written settlement at mediation, your agreement can be submitted to the court for approval. If you do not settle, your case continues through the normal court process.

What if we do not reach an agreement at mediation?

The mediator reports an impasse, and your case moves forward to hearings or trial. Many couples try mediation again later after more information is exchanged.
