SIMPLIFIED/UNCONTESTED DIVORCE
In Florida, couples can dissolve their marriage and secure a divorce in an amicable manner, which is faster and less expensive than a contested divorce, by choosing to proceed with a Simplified Divorce. This is an uncontested divorce, that you can proceed with if you and your spouse have the ability to cooperate and can agree on issues such as equitable distribution and that neither party is seeking alimony. Additionally, a simplified divorce Requires that there are no minor children involved.
If a couple does not qualify for a Simplified Divorce in Florida (usually because they have children), Magnolia Law can still assist clients in obtaining a quick divorce — as long as the parties are in agreement and are willing to work with one another to reach a full resolution to their divorce.
In New York, couples can also choose to dissolve their marriages in a quicker, less expensive and simpler manner by choosing to proceed with an uncontested divorce. The parties need to agree on all divorce related issues such as alimony, equitable distribution, child support and custody and must enter into a comprehensive Marital Settlement Agreement which is then made part of the final divorce paperwork and upon the basis of which the divorce is granted by the Court, as long as the Agreement is acceptable to the Court.
Reach out to us today! Magnolia Law will guide you through the simplified or uncontested divorce process whether you are a resident of the State of Florida or New York. Obtaining a divorce does not have to be a long drawn out process or adversarial in nature. It can be accomplished quickly and without breaking the bank.
CONTESTED DIVORCE
A contested divorce can take much more time to finalize than an uncontested divorce. A dissolution of marriage by way of a contested divorce means that the parties are not in agreement and the court will eventually need to decide issues such as asset division, timesharing, parental responsibility, division of debts and property as well as the award of alimony and child support.
Although most contested divorces do not end up in a full blown trial and they are more often than not settled by agreement of both parties — you should not attempt to represent yourself. Instead, you should immediately hire an experienced divorce attorney to guide you through the legal process. Magnolia Law offers both skilled negotiators and experienced litigators to navigate the divorce process with you to ensure your best interests are represented and the best resolution for your case is obtained.
Establishment or disestablishment of paternity is a serious and complex task that can result in serious financial ramifications for the mother or father of a child. Whenever paternity is questioned, disputed or at issue, it is recommended that the advice and counsel of an attorney is sought since there can potentially be serious implications as a result of the determination. Hiring Magnolia Law will ensure you know your rights and the rights of the other party and can make a fully informed decision as to to the next steps in the matter. A mother, father, legal representative of the child or the Department of Revenue can file a Paternity action in Florida.
If you have been served or would like to file a paternity action, reach out to Magnolia Law so that we can explain the process to you and help you reach an amicable resolution. We have extensive experience representing both mothers and fathers in these actions to establish paternity and get the parties into an agreement that is best for your shared child/children. The ultimate goal is to establish a parenting plan that specifically defines each parent’s respective rights to their child/children, which encompasses both timesharing rights and the establishment of child support.
Modifications of Family Law cases are very common and are matters that evolve out of an underlying case that was resolved either by Agreement of the parties or a Court Order/Final Judgment pursuant to a trial. Anytime there are changed circumstances of a party to a previous Order or Agreement, that are substantial and continuing, a Modification may be warranted.
Modifications are most common in Family Law cases and usually are filed to modify time sharing or child support.
A party can file a Modification for any matter that was finalized, that now has substantially changed circumstances such as loss of income, relocation of employment, or the discovery of new information that was previously unknown.
Magnolia Law can handle your Modification matter effectively and diligently, with the goal to comprehensively address all relevant issues between the parents to reduce conflict and the necessity of future legal action.
