Child Support

Child Support in Florida is determined by a multitude of statutes. The first step in determining child support in Florida is determining whether the non-primary parent has substantial or non-substantial parenting time with the child.

Alimony

In 2011 The Florida legislature made extensive revisions to Florida’s alimony statute but, despite that, alimony in Florida is not calculated in a predictable fashion.

Parenting Time

Since 2008, there is no “visitation” in Florida law. It is instead called “parenting time” which is both a clearer definition of what visitation really is.

Division of Marital Assets

In a Florida divorce, a couples’ assets and liabilities will be totaled and categorized as either being marital or non-marital. Once property is identified as marital the courts will find that, upon divorce, the property should be divided equally.

Divorce & Family Law in Naples
Is What We Do

Family Law refers to Florida law, rules, regulations, and court procedures involving the family unit when that unit comes under the purview of the courts.

These laws, rules, regulations and procedures cover everything from who gets to visit children to how a privately held business gets valued and divided.

These determinations must be made, negotiated in the clients favor and, failing that, proven in a Florida court of law.

This requires a body of family law knowledge that is both broad and deep.

Russell Knight’s has years of experience, has worked with thousands of families and developed a near obsession with family law.

Put your family in the hands of someone who values your family as it exists now and will exist in the future.

Put your family and your family’s future in our firm’s hands.
