Child Custody
In determining child custody a number of factors are taken into consideration in determining a visitation schedule and which party should be the primary residential or custodial parent as well as the type of custody, whether rotating custody or substantial time sharing. Attorney Sandy T. Fox can help you understand your options and evaluate what would be in the best interests of your child.
Child Support
Child support is a statutory calculation of various factors which considers both parties incomes and the number of children. This formula also considers the cost of day care and health insurance, if reasonably available. Seeking legal counsel from a competent family law attorney can help you to learn about child support, including but not limited to, why you should request an income deduction order from the court to increase the probability that you will receive your child support in a timely manner.
Alimony
Alimony is the monetary support that one spouse is obligated to pay another as a result of the marriage. Alimony can be both temporary and permanent in nature. The court's primary consideration in awarding alimony is the need of one spouse and the ability to pay of the other spouse. Attorney Sandy T. Fox will explain Florida laws governing alimony and help you determine whether or not you may have an entitlement to alimony.
Post Judgment Modification & Enforcement
Circumstances often change, and as a result earlier court rulings may no longer suit your needs. Attorney Sandy T. Fox can assist you with post judgment modification of the terms and conditions of a final judgment regarding child custody, child support and alimony. He also provides legal assistance for the enforcement of such judgments.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence refers to violent actions between spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage in addition to persons not formally married, but living together as a family whether in the past or the present. Assault, stalking, kidnapping or criminal offenses that cause injury or death by persons in such relationships is considered domestic violence. Attorney Sandy T. Fox will explain your legal rights, and if needed, assist you in obtaining a protective injunction or restraining order or help you take other effective legal actions to resolve your issues involving domestic violence.
