Property division is one of the most critical aspects of divorce. With over 50 years of combined experience in family law, attorneys Mary Greenwood McDermott and Karen A. Howe bring a deep understanding of complex estates to the table. We work diligently to ensure a fair division of marital assets, carefully valuing homes, real estate holdings, closely held businesses, and retirement accounts. Utilizing tax returns and collaborating with trusted experts when necessary, we help our clients navigate property settlements with confidence and clarity.
When it comes to matters involving children, early action can significantly impact the outcome. We help our clients establish time-sharing arrangements early, knowing that temporary orders often influence the final custody decision. We craft detailed parenting agreements that address custody, visitation schedules, and future contingencies to minimize the need for future disputes.
In financial matters, we ensure that child support is accurately calculated according to Florida’s legal guidelines and that spousal support (alimony) decisions are made based on complete and truthful financial information. Whether advocating for fair child support or appropriate spousal support, we are committed to protecting your financial future and your family’s well-being.
Case Management Conference
Within the first 60 days, we help you navigate the initial case management conference, working to negotiate critical terms early. During this phase, we can also assist you in securing temporary custody or child support.
Mandatory Mediation
We meticulously gather information about your assets and liabilities to ensure you are fully prepared for mandatory mediation. Our goal is to position you for a fair and favorable agreement without unnecessary conflict.
Pre-Trial Discovery and Negotiations
Our team leaves no stone unturned during discovery. We subpoena bank records, investigate hidden assets, and verify incomes to propose a truly fair settlement, setting you up for a stable future after divorce.
Litigation
If negotiations fail, you can count on us to fiercely represent your interests in court. We fight to ensure you receive your fair share of assets and that your child’s best interests remain the highest priority.
