Fort Lauderdale Divorce Attorney
In past generations, a divorce often included difficult or bitter negotiations over “who got the house.” Often, each spouse hoped to keep the marital home. In today's economy, the opposite is often true. Each spouse hopes to get rid of a house that has negative equity or is difficult to sell. Perhaps your home is in foreclosure, adding to complications in the financial side of your divorce.
As is the case anywhere, a Florida divorce will entail the following:
- Asset division (equitable distribution of real estate, cash assets, retirement accounts, boats, second homes, offshore investments, antiques, jewelry, and even pets or livestock such as horses or dogs)
- Spousal support if appropriate (alimony)
- Child custody/time-sharing order (if there are minor children of the marriage)
- Child support (if there are children under age 18 of the marriage or under 19 and in still in high school)
Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding your marriage, community property in your marriage, your assets, your children and your divorce. Talk to divorce lawyer Andrew D. Washor about these and other topics relevant to your Florida divorce as soon as possible. Take steps to protect your rights, your assets and your future.
Your home mortgage problem may be resolvable by way of a “short sale,” meaning that the bank will forgive whatever portion of your mortgage that a sale does not bring in. Andrew D. Washor, P.A., is ready to help you negotiate such a sale with the bank.
A divorce is never fun or easy. While the attorney works hard on your financial and legal matters, you are perhaps still in a state of sorrow, grief or anger over the breakup of your relationship with your wife or husband. An experienced lawyer is a great asset to someone like you facing the major life disruption of divorce. Our law office is experienced at moving divorce cases forward expediently, with our clients' long-term interests front and center in all negotiations and decisions to be made.
Perhaps your divorce is uncontested ― you and your wife or husband are in full agreement about how you will split up your assets and raise any children that you have while living separate lives from each other. This option is often less expensive for both parties. Keep in mind that no attorney should represent two people even if the two of you agree on all terms of the divorce. You are each strongly advised to get your own lawyers.
