Hiring a Tampa Divorce Attorney

Divorce. It can be a trying, emotional time for all parties involved. If you are divorcing in Tampa Bay and have minor children, it can be particularly stressful. Some of the top concerns for divorcing couples are as follows and we’ll discuss when you should consider hiring a Tampa divorce attorney.

Divorce and Timesharing – Florida

Worrying about how you, your spouse and your children will become accustomed to timesharing and how it will effect all involved is generally a top priority for couples who are divorcing. Florida law is pretty specific about timesharing but there are factors that can provide more or less timesharing to one or the other parent. An experienced Tampa divorce lawyer can help to ensure that the children’s best interests are protected with regards to child custody and timesharing.

Tampa Bay High Net Worth Divorce Attorneys 

The division of assets, calculating and managing child support as well as other financial issues must be settled. This process can be excruciatingly worrisome if you are trying to do this on your own. If your divorce is a contested divorce or a contested high net worth divorce, it can be even more crucial that you hire an experienced Tampa Bay divorce attorney . Now is the time when you generally would want a high asset divorce attorney who is familiar with the Tampa Bay courts to represent you. Whether you are a high net worth individual or divorcing business professional, hiring a Tampa Bay Divorce Lawyer can be highly beneficial particularly if you have separate property, a business or investments.

No Fault Divorce?

Florida is typically considered a “no fault” divorce state. Try explaining that to a spouse who has been hurt by the actions of the one they love. If one or both spouses have been offended, often one or both may not be in a position to rationally decide or agree upon what is best for their family. Typically, one or even both parties will have a difficult time letting go and one or both will walk away feeling defeated.

Most people aren’t prepared for what happens in Florida divorce court. An experienced Tampa divorce attorney will be able to walk you through the process of what to expect. It’s helpful to try to keep in mind that you were once a family, and you are now a family in transition—especially when children are involved. Children will be the common bond between spouses who are divorcing long after the final divorce judgment is entered.

When Should You Hire a Tampa Divorce Attorney?

Frequently, the already stressful situation prevents the defendant from being able to do so. Along with your answers, certain financial disclosures must be provided to the courts within a certain amount of time. Providing the proper information can help or hurt your case.
