What Rights Do I Have?
Clients often ask us what their rights are in family law cases under Florida law, and there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about this topic. In general, you have the right to an equitable distribution of the marital assets and liabilities in property division during a divorce. Parents with legal parentage already established, either through marriage or paternity, also have the right to request custody (now called time-sharing) with their children. You have the right to have adequate notice of legal proceedings behind hold and the right to have an attorney act on your behalf and represent you. It’s important to remember that these rights hinge on following court procedures and meeting the applicable deadlines, and failing to respond to a filing or file your own petition can have lasting consequences.
Do I Really Need a Florida Family Lawyer?
Navigating the court system in Florida requires knowledge of the statutes and the procedural requirements. Even a small mistake or forgotten deadline can have a negative impact and potentially long-term consequences for your case. Working with an attorney ensures you have a legal advocate and guide looking out for your interests, from filing the first petition to requesting a post-judgment modification.
