What Is Family Law?
Family law is a legal practice area focused on issues that impact family relationships — from marriage and divorce to child custody, adoption, and domestic violence. It governs the rights, responsibilities, and protections of those connected by blood, marriage, or court order.
At Family Matters Law Group, P.A., we handle the full spectrum of family law issues with sensitivity, strategy, and experience.
Our Florida Family Law Services
✅ Divorce (Contested & Uncontested)
Florida is a no-fault divorce state, but that doesn't mean the process is simple. We help you navigate:
-
Equitable distribution of assets and debts
-
Alimony/spousal support
-
Parenting plans and child custody
-
Complex or high-net-worth divorces
Whether your divorce is amicable or high-conflict, we work toward the most efficient, cost-effective resolution possible — while protecting your legal rights.
👶 Child Custody & Paternity
In Florida, “custody” is broken into parental responsibility and timesharing. We help parents create or modify legally enforceable Parenting Plans that reflect their child's best interests. We also assist with:
-
Establishing or contesting paternity
-
Emergency custody motions
-
Relocation cases
-
Enforcing or modifying existing orders
💵 Child Support
Florida uses a statutory formula to determine child support, but the numbers don't always tell the full story. We ensure your financial disclosures are accurate and fight for a fair result that supports your child's well-being. We also handle:
-
Retroactive support
-
Child support arrears
-
Enforcement actions
💍 Alimony (Spousal Support)
Florida recently revised its alimony laws to eliminate permanent alimony and provide guidelines for calculating support based on the length of marriage and financial need. We help you understand:
-
Whether you may receive or owe alimony
-
The impact of voluntary unemployment or underemployment
-
How income and expenses are evaluated by the court
🛡️ Domestic Violence & Protective Injunctions
Safety comes first. If you are experiencing abuse — or have been falsely accused — we can help you:
-
File or respond to a domestic violence injunction
-
Navigate hearings and present evidence
-
Understand how restraining orders affect custody or divorce
🧾 Temporary Custody by Extended Family
We help relatives obtain temporary legal custody of children in emergency or transitional situations through Chapter 751 petitions, especially in cases involving substance abuse, incarceration, or DCF investigations.
🤝 Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
We draft and review legally binding marital agreements that protect your interests and define expectations around:
-
Asset and debt division
-
Spousal support
-
Inheritance rights
-
Business interests
Whether you're planning a marriage or adjusting mid-marriage, having a clear agreement in place can reduce conflict later.
🍼 Adoption
We guide stepparents, grandparents, and prospective adoptive parents through the Florida adoption process, ensuring:
-
Termination of parental rights (when required)
-
Home studies and DCF requirements
-
Finalization and post-adoption matters
✍️ Legal Name Changes
Whether you're seeking a name change due to divorce, gender transition, adoption, or personal preference, we can guide you through the legal process from start to finish. In Florida, name changes involve:
-
Filing a petition with the court
-
Background checks (for adult name changes)
-
A final hearing before a judge
We handle:
-
Adult name changes
-
Minor child name changes (with one or both parents)
-
Restoring a maiden name in a divorce
-
Amending birth certificates after a legal name change
We make this administrative but meaningful legal process as simple and seamless as possible.
