Jacksonville Divorce Lawyer

Board-Certified

There are so many Jacksonville divorce lawyers now and with all of their marketing techniques, it is hard to figure out who is the right attorney for you. I would suggest that you choose a lawyer the way that I would choose a doctor. If I was having open heart surgery, I would want a doctor who has been evaluated and board certified by their licensing authority. I would want to ensure that I was being helped by someone who has been accredited as an expert in their field. Why should your lawyer be different?

Experience in Military Divorce

Choose a lawyer you can trust

A word of caution... military benefits are not understood by all Jacksonville divorce lawyers and the wrong lawyer can seriously compromise your rights, especially where retirement is concerned. When hiring an attorney, you and your family deserve a lawyer who is a Florida Bar certified divorce expert. I represent both men and women and ensure that both are treated equally by the Court. I represent military and other families in Duval, Clay, Nassau, St. Johns, and Baker Counties. If you are out of country or state, we can often help you over the phone and through email. We can also discuss your appearance by phone at court hearings.

Understanding Child Support

Jacksonville Divorce Lawyers

If you are seeking child support, my office will ensure that your children receive the proper amount of child support mandated by Florida law. If the other parent is attempting to avoid their child support obligations, is not working when they are capable of working, or is working a lower paying job just to avoid their child support payments, I can help you. My office works closely with a wage earning capacity evaluation expert to show the Court what the other parent should be earning and therefore what they should be paying to support their children. We also take great care to ensure that the health insurance, life insurance, and other financial needs of the children are met to provide you with peace of mind.
