Valuable Guidance When It is Most Needed
Families come to us with different needs every day. Our lawyer — James Levy — has worked with single parents, married couples who do not have children, military members and many others — each with his or her own unique circumstances. We always take the time to understand each clients' situation and develop an approach that is tailored to their specific concerns such as:
- Divorce: We will help you decide if mediation, collaborative law or litigation are right for your family and address all of the issues involved in your divorce, including division of military pensions and QDROs, 401(k) plans and IRAs; alimony; child support; and child custody or visitation.
- Modifications and enforcement of family court orders: If your circumstances have changed or you are struggling to get the other party to cooperate with an established child custody or child support order, we will help you seek the appropriate court actions. We frequently help military families reach new child custody arrangements when one parent relocates.
- Registration of out-of-state custody orders: When parents relocate, they need to register the custody orders with the new state. This is also called domestication of foreign divorce decrees.
- Legal paternity: Your child deserves a meaningful relationship with both parents. We have experience helping parents establish paternity and parental rights.
- Adoption: There are many ways to bring a child into your family, including international and private adoption and well as step-parent or third party adoptions.
- Domestic violence: We help victims of domestic violence achieve a safer situation. We also represent individuals who have been issued restraining orders.
Whether you simply need us to help you complete and file the paperwork or you need an advocate to guide you through the confusing family law system in the Florida Panhandle, attorney Levy can help. Call 850-837-7135 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation at our Destin office.
