Brooksville Family Lawyers and the Distribution of a Marital Home
Some of the most common issues we face as Brooksville family lawyers are the partition and sale of marital homes, same-sex divorce custody, and child support. There are sinkhole issues that sometimes become an issue in some cases as well. Brooksville, Spring Hill, Pine Hills, and Hernando Beach houses are beautiful. Hernando County is a beautiful place to live and raise a family. When a marital home is at issue in a divorce case, there are generally three practical solutions. The first is for the spouses to sell the home and equitably divide the proceeds. The second is for one party to refinance the home and provide the other spouse with a buyout payment. The third is for the parties to continue living in the home if there are children involved and the parties agree to remain together (even if divorced) for the benefit of the children.
Divorce Attorney in Brooksville, Florida and Child Support
Of course, as a Brooksville divorce attorney, we encounter a lot of child support cases. The Department of Revenue often seeks to establish cases before actions are filed for the establishment of paternity. Trying to establish the correct amount of ongoing child support and working out whether arrears are appropriate are major parts of the job of a divorce attorney in Brooksville, Florida.
As a Brooksville family lawyer, child custody (a.k.a. timesharing) is frequently at issue. Child custody is presumed statutorily to be equal, but every case is unique, and there are so many intervening factors. Distance is often an issue; sometimes there are DCF cases; and who gets to decide school enrollment are some of the most common things the court will need to decide.
