South Florida Divorce and Child Support Lawyers
Divorce is a difficult situation. The assistance of a smart, tough attorney can make the difference between getting what you want and feeling cheated out of your assets and children. The attorneys at Stok Folk + Kon, P.A., understand that you are fighting for your future. We know how vital it is to protect your relationship with your children. We will seek a solution that works for both spouses, but that is always in your best interests.
With our extensive business experience, we understand the economic aspects of divorce. In financial matters, the dissolution of a marriage is similar to the dissolution of a business. We are skilled at valuing and dividing assets, and projecting future expenses. In addition, we are aggressive litigators who will fight for everything you deserve.
Looking Ahead for You and Your Family
Divorce — In Florida, property obtained and income earned during a marriage is considered marital property and is subject to equitable distribution in a divorce. We will help you determine marital versus non-marital assets and liabilities. We will also help you value and divide the assets.
In general, spousal support is based on each person's ability to earn, how much the ex-spouse earns and the standard of living during the marriage. However, each situation is unique and we will fight for your right to the amount of support you deserve.
Custody — Florida law requires divorcing parents to write a parenting plan that specifies the following information:
- Where the children will live
- How parents will share child rearing responsibility
- Time sharing arrangements
- Who will be responsible for health care, school and extracurricular activities
- How the parents will communicate with each other
The parenting plan will lay the foundation for determining child support. Parents with 40 percent or more of the time sharing usually pay less child support. We can represent you in child support matters.
Additional family law issues we handle include:
- Paternity suits
- Jurisdictional disputes (support, visitation)
- Parental rights
