Family Law Matters We Commonly Handle
Family law cases often involve several related legal issues. Our practice focuses on the matters most commonly addressed in St. Johns County family courts.
Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage)
Divorce cases involve decisions about property division, financial responsibilities, and parenting arrangements. Preparing early and understanding the legal process can help reduce uncertainty during the case.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
Custody matters-often referred to as time-sharing in Florida-focus on creating arrangements that support the best interests of the child while protecting parental rights.
Paternity Cases
When parents are not married, paternity actions establish legal parentage and determine rights and responsibilities related to custody, parenting time, and support.
Modifications of Existing Orders
Life circumstances can change after a court order is issued. Modifications may address adjustments to parenting schedules or other terms when significant changes occur.
Injunctions for Protection
Some family disputes involve allegations that lead to injunction proceedings. These matters follow a civil court process and may require separate hearings.
Protecting Parenting Time and Family Stability
For many parents, the most important concern during a family law case is maintaining a meaningful relationship with their children. Parenting plans and time-sharing arrangements often shape daily life for years after a case concludes.

Careful preparation, clear documentation, and strategic legal guidance can help ensure that parenting decisions are handled thoughtfully and with attention to the long-term impact on families.
