Uncontested Dissolution of Marriage

---

Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is hard on families.  The process of dissolving a marriage can be very complex.  You may have questions about the various issues that are often addressed during a divorce, including:

Co-Parenting

What will your co-parenting relationship with your soon-to-be ex spouse be like?  How will you make decisions regarding your child?  How much time will you spend with your child each week?  These issues and many others are addressed in a Parenting Plan.  A Parenting Plan can be negotiated by the spouses, or can be ordered by a Judge.  As part of your divorce, we will help you develop a Parenting Plan that is right for you.

Equitable Division of Assets and Debts

Throughout the duration of a marriage, it often occurs that the spouses purchase property, such as a house, furniture, and cars.  Furthermore, each spouse may have retirement savings or pensions through an employer.  How will these assets be divided?  How will debt be divided?  If I owned property before I was married, do I get to keep it for myself?  At Coastal Collaborative Family Law, we will help you answer these questions and more.

Child Support

There are many misconception about Child support and how it is calculated.  Many people believe that a equal, 50/50 timesharing arrangement means no exchange of child support should occur.  While the number of overnights that the children spend with each parent is a factor, it does not dictate the amount of child support, or whether is should be paid.  The Florida Statutes Chapter 61 provides a lot of guidance on child support should be calculated.  We can help answer your questions regarding payment and child support calculation. 

Alimony

There are several types of alimony, also known as spousal support.  The type of alimony that is appropriate in a particular case will depend largely on the length of the marriage and the financial resources available to each party.  There are several forms of alimony, including Bridge-the-Gap, Rehabilitative, Durational, Lump sum, and permanent alimony.  We can help you determine what types of alimony may be appropriate in your case.
