What are Important Legalities to Consider in Family Law Disputes
While every family law case is unique due to the personal circumstances
and lives of all involved parties, there are some underlying factors that
tend to arise in most cases. Understanding and anticipating these factors
may be key to securing the beneficial outcome you deserve. Prepare for
your family law dispute or divorce with the guidance of our Altamonte
Springs family lawyer.
Three key factors in Florida family law cases are:
-
Equitable distribution: Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means that assets and
finances will be split fairly during
property division in a divorce, not equally. You may need to fight for pieces of your property
that you believe should be given to you, not your ex-spouse.
-
Child concerns: Family law courts always rule in favor of a child’s best interests.
The court will not approve of an order or motion if it believes doing
so would disadvantage or unreasonably upset the child. To improve your
chances of getting the child support, child custody, or
visitation orders you prefer, it helps to think as a judge would and always put your child’s
best interests first.
-
Modifications: Any sort of family law or
divorce order created has the potential to be changed later through a requested modification.
Florida family law courts tend to only approve of modifications if the
requester can prove that they have experienced an unexpected life change,
such as losing their job, and that a preexisting divorce order is now
causing them undue hardship.
