Family Law Services for Bradenton Clients
As a full service family law attorney for Bradenton residents, we handle the issues that come up before, during and after a divorce.
Divorce
From the first filing to the final judgment, we guide Bradenton spouses through every stage of a Florida divorce and push for a result that protects your finances and your family.
Uncontested Divorce
When you and your spouse already agree on the major issues, we draft a settlement that holds up and file it correctly so the case moves quickly through the Manatee County court.
Child Custody
Florida courts decide time sharing and parental responsibility based on the best interests of the child. We build a parenting plan that reflects your role in your children's lives.
Child Support
Support is set under the Florida guidelines, but the numbers depend on accurate income and expense information. We make sure the calculation is based on the real figures.
Alimony
Whether you expect to pay or receive alimony, we look closely at the length of the marriage, each spouse's needs and ability to pay, and argue for a fair outcome.
Property Division
Florida divides marital assets and debts equitably. We help you identify what is marital and what is separate, from the house to retirement accounts to business interests.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A well drafted agreement gives both spouses clarity before or during the marriage. We prepare and review agreements so they are clear and enforceable.
Family Mediation
Contested family cases in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit generally go to mediation before trial. We prepare you for the session and work toward an agreement you can live with.
Collaborative Divorce
For couples who want to stay out of the courtroom, the collaborative process lets both sides work through issues together with their attorneys at the table.
Paternity
Establishing paternity gives unmarried fathers legal rights to time sharing and gives children the right to support. We handle paternity actions from start to finish.
Order Modifications
When a job change, relocation or other substantial change in circumstances makes an existing order unworkable, we ask the court to modify custody, support or alimony.
Filing for Divorce in Bradenton
A Manatee County divorce is filed with the Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court, located at 1115 Manatee Avenue West, Bradenton, FL 34205. Your petition, financial affidavits and other paperwork go through this office, and hearings are held at the Manatee County courthouse.
Manatee County is part of Florida's Twelfth Judicial Circuit, which also covers Sarasota and DeSoto counties. That matters for you, because the Twelfth Circuit is where our firm already practices. We know its procedures, its mediation requirements and what its family judges expect to see from the parties.
Before you file, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months. Florida is a no fault state, so you only need to show that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Every case still has to address property, debts, and if you have children, a parenting plan and child support. A good Bradenton family lawyer helps you get those pieces right the first time so the case does not stall.
