Legal Guidance in Florida Divorce and Child Custody

Central Florida Divorce Lawyers

Divorce—even when it's uncontested—is stressful and emotionally challenging. All of the decisions you have to make are important. The agreements you reach with your former partner today will have a long-lasting impact on your life.

That's why it's important to understand your rights and your options in divorce. And why it's so helpful to work with an experienced and dedicated divorce lawyer who understands the potential challenges you may face.

At the law office of Paul & Elkind we provide legal advice, encouragement and strong legal advocacy for clients in the process of divorce. You can count on our divorce attorneys to look after your interests and to protect your rights during negotiations or in court.

Contact our Deltona or DeLand law office to speak with an attorney about the important decisions that need to be made: how children will be cared for and supported and how assets will be divided and.

Marital Asset Division: Marital property includes savings (and debt), property and other assets that you and your former partner accumulated during your marriage. It includes personal property, cars, pension plans, IRAs and 401K accounts, even business interests.

The first step in marital property division is to document all assets and debts, and to accurately value them. At Paul & Elkind, we work with appraisers and valuators to conduct real estate appraisals and business valuations. Once the parties have a clear picture of their financial situation, we can begin the process of negotiating a property settlement agreement.

Child Custody and Child Support: If the couple has children, they will need to reach an agreement, or ask a judge to decide, who will have legal and/or physical custody of the children, if custody will be split, and what the visitation schedule will be. Child support is determined after custody has been decided.

The Paul & Elkind Difference

Some of the problems that can arise during a divorce may cross over into other legal areas, such as real estate or estate planning. The clients of Paul & Elkind can access a range of in-house lawyers when they need answers or additional services.
