Efficient, Fair Resolutions in Divorce

If your marriage is really over, you need to get it over with. Our number one goal is getting you the most reasonable, fairest result as quickly, efficiently, and affordably as possible. Your Florida divorce generally involves five major issues. We walk you through each of these to give you the legal information and counsel you need to understand your rights and define your objectives:

  • Parenting plans/time sharing with children (aka child custody/visitation)
  • Division of property and debts (equitable distribution)
  • Alimony (spousal support)
  • Child support
  • Attorney’s fees

From high-asset divorce issues and business valuations to helping clients divide credit card debt in a divorce, I handle all types of divorce issues and disputes. Regardless of the specific facts in your case, I can explain the do’s and don’ts of a divorce so you can make informed decisions regarding your future and your family. I have years of experience as a family law attorney in Fort Lauderdale and can provide the legal advice you are looking for.

Resolving Issues Before Marriage and After Divorce

After divorce, the court may later be asked to modify aspects of the original decree. Some people choose to formalize issues prior to marriage or mid-marriage, and parents who were never married have many of the same issues (and rights). Fort Lauderdale family lawyer Curtis R. Cowan, P.A. can advise and represent your interests in:

We are always available to talk to you if you need help and advice. Assuming you come to an agreement with your spouse (with our help), we make sure the legal paperwork is properly prepared, signed and filed with the court, and presented to your judge. Although reaching that agreement is always the primary objective, we will vigorously represent you at trial when necessary. Sometimes the other party is not amenable to working things out. Sometimes there is simply no room for compromise on issues involving your children. If litigation in a contested divorce cannot be avoided, we are experienced and effective Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers and  trial lawyers who will help you prepare your arguments and stand your ground in court.
