Ponte Vedra Beach Area Divorce Attorney
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make ensure that I get custody of my children in my divorce?
In any divorce, it cannot be ultimately promised that you will gain the primary custody of your children. A “parenting plan” must be submitted to the court and will become a court order. If there is evidence of child abuse, the judge may order that only supervised visits will be allowed. Florida laws are written so that children have access to both parents, generally. There may be one parent that has primary custody, or the majority of the time share, which is based on certain criteria. It is crucial that you have legal representation from a Ponte Vedra Beach area divorce attorney if you are concerned about the custody issue for your children. With the help of a skilled divorce lawyer from the Law Office of Wesley H. Owens, the likelihood of a better outcome regarding the custody matter can increase.
How much alimony can I expect in my divorce?
In any divorce, there are various factors that are considered when determining alimony payments. It is not guaranteed that you will receive alimony, and the decision on this is made by the judge based on the circumstances of the case. It is ordinarily partially dependent on the ability of the individuals to support themselves, and what level of income and lifestyle had been previously provided when married.
Will I get to keep my home?
The marital home may be considered to be part of the marital assets. It may have to be worked out how this will be accomplished if there is still a mortgage on the home. It is often true that the parent with the majority of the shared time with the children continues to live in the family home. In some circumstances this is not the case, depending on the details of your assets and other matters. If you need help to determine this, it is advised that you contact a Ponte Vedra Beach area divorce lawyer to answer your questions.
I am not able to visit with my children, even though the visitation is court ordered. What can I do?
When your court ordered visitation is not being complied with, there are legal actions that can be taken against the offending ex-spouse. Not only may the individual be charged with contempt of court, they may lose some of their shared time with the children if they continue to deny you access to your children. I, Wesley Owens, can assist you with resolving this issue quickly through the courts so you have your legally ordered visitation with your children.
