Marital and family decisions regarding minor children are often the most difficult to deal with. Relocation is just one of the many difficult issues. Florida Statute 61.13001 establishes the relocation factors a court considers when deciding if a child(ren) stay or go. Generally, if one parent desires to relocate or move with his or her minor child to a new residence 50 miles or more from the current residence, the relocating parent must either enter into a written agreement with the other parent, or obtain the court’s permission. The courts will review the specific Florida statute governing relocation. In the event the non-relocating parent fails to consent, a petition seeking relief must be filed. Understanding your rights and responsibilities before making these decisions is vital to protecting your rights. Often these cases must be litigated and Flaherty Law Firm provides personal, focused and experienced assistance to every client with these difficult decisions.

Non-marital property is not subject to equitable distribution. Florida Statute 61.075 defines: Non-marital property generally includes, but is not limited to real and personal property acquired before the marriage or inheritance, some gifts, property excluded from joint ownership by prior mutual agreement, and income derived from non-marital assets and possibly debts.
During the marriage, if kept separate from marital assets, non-marital liabilities may include those liabilities obtained during the marriage by forgery or unauthorized signature. It is important to identify early any non-marital property which will not be subject to equitable distribution. Flaherty Law Firm works with each client, from the initial interview to the final court appearance to ensure they are fully advised of their rights. https://www.srqfamilylaw.com/non-marital-property

If divorcing parties have minor children, one of the most difficult issues is determining the time sharing and parental responsibilities for the minor children. In Florida, there is no longer a primary and secondary parent. Under the new law, the Florida Statutes require the creation of a Parenting Plan unique to each individual family based on many factors that the court must consider. Those 20 factors are outlined in Fla. Stat. 61.13. The Parenting Plan establishes parental responsibilities, time sharing arrangements, holiday sharing and support. Our law firm handles every aspect of child custody or time sharing with close, personal attention and communication paid to each client understanding the emotional and financial difficulties these issues present. Depending on the specific factors at issue in your life, specialized parenting plans can also be put into place such as long distance parenting plans and safety focused parenting plans.
