Family law cases are personal and deeply hurtful. They can affect where your children live, how major parenting decisions are made, how much child support and alimony is paid, who keeps the marital home, and how your financial future looks after the case is over.
Jacobs Law Firm helps Orlando-area clients with (including but not limited to the following):
Every family case is different. Some clients want to resolve their case as efficiently and peacefully as possible. Others need urgent help because the other parent or spouse is being unreasonable, withholding information, refusing to follow a court order, or creating conflict that cannot be resolved without legal action. Some litigants just want to prolong the litigation process.
Our role is to help you understand the law and how your case can be demonstrated according to Florida family law, identify your goals, prepare your evidence, and help you choose the path that best fits your situation.
A divorce involves substantially more than just dissolving/ending a marriage. You will likely make life-altering decisions about property, debt, parenting schedules, parental responsibility, child support, alimony, retirement accounts, the marital home, and future communication with your former spouse.
This is among the reasons Jacobs Law Firm represents clients in both contested and uncontested divorce cases. If you and your spouse agree on the major issues, we can help prepare the necessary documents, marital settlement agreement, parenting plan if children are involved, and related filings. If your divorce is contested, we can help you develop a litigation strategy, prepare for mediation, and advocate for your position in court when necessary.
Our divorce representation may include:
The earlier you speak with an Orlando divorce attorney, the easier it may be to avoid preventable mistakes. Before signing an agreement, moving out of the home, changing financial arrangements, or making informal parenting promises, it is wise to understand the potential legal consequences.
For many parents, the most important issue in a family law case is time with their children. Florida family law cases often involve parenting plans, timesharing schedules, decision-making authority, school issues, transportation, holidays, extracurricular activities, communication, and child support.
Jacobs Law Firm helps parents in Orlando and Central Florida with custody and timesharing disputes arising from divorce, paternity cases, modification cases, and enforcement matters. Consider that a parenting plan should be specific enough to reduce future conflict and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Vague agreements can create problems later, especially when parents disagree about exchanges, school breaks, holidays, travel, medical decisions, or communication with the children.
We help clients think through practical questions such as:
Your parenting plan should protect your relationship with your children while also giving your family a structure that can work in real life.
Financial issues can become some of the most stressful parts of a divorce or family law case. Child support, alimony, health insurance, daycare, uncovered medical expenses, extracurricular costs, and payment of household bills can quickly become disputed.
Jacobs Law Firm helps clients understand the financial issues involved in their case and prepare the information needed to address support. This may include income, employment status, timesharing, childcare costs, health insurance costs, debts, expenses, and the financial needs of each party.
We represent clients who are seeking support, clients who are being asked to pay support, and clients who need to modify an existing support order because circumstances have changed.
When parents are not married, a paternity case may be necessary to establish legal rights and responsibilities. Paternity cases can involve timesharing, parental responsibility, child support, health insurance, the child’s name, and other important parenting issues.
Jacobs Law Firm represents mothers and fathers in paternity matters (should just be called a Parenting Case, not a paternity case) throughout Orlando and Central Florida. For fathers, establishing paternity can be an important step toward securing a meaningful parenting schedule and legal recognition of parental rights. For mothers, a paternity case can help establish support and create a structured parenting plan.
Whether you are filing a new paternity case or responding to one, we can help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
Family court orders may need to be changed or enforced after a divorce, paternity case, or prior family law judgment. A parenting schedule that worked years ago may no longer fit the child’s school schedule. A parent’s income may change. A party may refuse to follow the order. One parent may want to move. Child support or alimony may need to be reviewed.
Jacobs Law Firm assists with post-judgment matters involving:
If the current order is not working, do not rely on informal agreements alone. Speak with an attorney about whether a formal modification or enforcement action is appropriate.
Choosing the right family law attorney is about more than hiring someone to file paperwork. You need a lawyer who will listen, explain your options clearly, prepare you for each step, and help you make decisions based on strategy instead of fear or frustration.
Clients contact Jacobs Law Firm because they want:
