Divorce can be a complex and emotionally charged process. At Bernstein Law, we provide comprehensive legal support to guide you through every stage of your divorce. Whether it’s a contested divorce, where both parties cannot agree on one or more issues, or an uncontested divorce, where both parties are in agreement, we ensure your rights and interests are protected.

We handle the division of marital assets, alimony, child custody, and support, helping you achieve a fair settlement.

Ensuring the best interests of your children is our top priority. We help create parenting plans that foster stability and continuity for the child. We handle joint custody, sole custody, and modifications to existing custody arrangements, ensuring that each plan is tailored to fit the unique needs of the family.

• Joint Custody: Involves both parents sharing legal and/or physical custody of the child.
• Sole Custody: One parent has full legal and/or physical custody, with the other parent possibly having visitation rights.

We advocate for your parental rights, ensuring that both parents have a meaningful relationship with their child. Our goal is to achieve a fair custody arrangement that benefits the child’s emotional and physical well-being.

Child support is determined based on various factors, including the income of both parents, the needs of the child, and the custody arrangement. We ensure that the support calculations are fair and adequate to provide for the child’s needs, from daily living expenses to education and healthcare.

Alimony, or spousal support, can be awarded on a temporary or permanent basis, depending on the circumstances of the marriage. We help clients understand the different types of alimony available in Florida:

• Temporary Alimony: Awarded during the divorce proceedings to help a spouse maintain their standard of living until the divorce is finalized.
• Bridge-the-Gap Alimony: Short-term support intended to help a spouse transition to single life, typically awarded for no more than two years.
• Rehabilitative Alimony: Provided to support a spouse while they acquire the education or training necessary to become self-sufficient.
• Durational Alimony: Awarded for a set period, suitable for marriages of moderate duration where permanent alimony is not appropriate.
• Permanent Alimony: Ongoing support typically awarded in long-term marriages, intended to continue indefinitely unless circumstances change.

Courts consider several factors when determining alimony, such as the length of marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, and each spouse’s financial resources and earning capacity. We meticulously analyze these factors to advocate for a fair and reasonable alimony arrangement.

High-asset divorces involve the division of significant marital assets, including real estate, businesses, investments, and retirement accounts. Our expertise in handling complex financial matters ensures that all assets are accurately valued and equitably divided. We work with financial experts to safeguard your financial interests.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are essential tools for protecting your assets and establishing clear terms in the event of a divorce. These agreements can address asset division, spousal support, and other critical issues, providing peace of mind and financial security.

At Bernstein Law, we draft customized prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that reflect your specific needs and circumstances. Our detailed and personalized approach ensures that your agreements are comprehensive, enforceable, and tailored to protect your interests.

Domestic violence is a serious issue that requires immediate legal intervention. Bernstein Law assists victims in securing protective orders, also known as restraining orders, to ensure their safety. These orders can prohibit the abuser from contacting or coming near the victim, providing crucial protection.
