Our Family Law Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation

We handle both peaceful and contentious divorce cases. In uncontested divorces, we assist couples in reaching mutually acceptable settlements quickly. In contested divorces, we advocate for our clients in matters such as property division, spousal support, and child custody.

Legal Separation Agreements

We create comprehensive legal separation agreements known as martial settlement agreements for couples who wish to separate without divorcing. These agreements outline key aspects of the separation, including financial responsibilities, living arrangements, and child custody terms.

Property Division

Divorce complicates asset and debt division. We help people identify, appraise, and distribute marital property. This process may include managing complex business assets, retirement savings, investments, and real estate.

Spousal Support/Alimony

Whether seeking or paying spousal support, we help clients manage the complexities of this field. We advocate for fair support based on the length of the marriage, each party’s income, and the established lifestyle. We assist in modifying support orders when conditions change, if possible.

Child Custody

Child custody, known as parental time-sharing, can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. At S.G. Morrow & Associates, P.A., we protect parental rights and prioritize children’s well-being. Time-sharing/custody is determined by statute. Typically, the courts work 50/50 time-sharing arrangements unless this is not feasible. Our attorney works to establish time-sharing arrangements either agreed to by the parties or ordered by the court. In Florida, courts may consider older children’s preferences if they can express a thoughtful choice, but decisions always focus on the child’s overall well-being. 

Child Support

S.G. Morrow & Associates, P.A. provides dedicated representation in child support cases, applying an in-depth knowledge of Florida’s child support laws. We determine child support using state guidelines, considering income, custody arrangements, and the child’s needs. When circumstances change, such as income adjustments or evolving child needs, we assist in modifying support orders. Understanding that every family’s financial situation is different, we work to establish fair arrangements that prioritize both parental rights and children’s well-being. Throughout the process, our team remains committed to protecting your interests and providing reliable legal support.

Domestic Violence

S.G. Morrow & Associates, P.A. provides swift and strategic legal support for domestic violence cases. We help clients obtain and enforce restraining orders and connect with local resources for additional support. Our attorney also handles related divorce and child custody matters with discretion and legal skills. Committed to client safety, we offer compassionate and assertive representation throughout the legal process.

Paternity

At S.G. Morrow & Associates, P.A., our paternity lawyers provide discreet and knowledgeable support in establishing parentage. Typically, the court will order DNA testing if paternity is contested and address related matters like child support and custody. With experience in both establishing and contesting paternity claims, we handle each case promptly and with confidentiality.

Adoption – Stepparent Adoptions

• We help stepparents legally adopt their stepchildren, which helps to establish and enhance family relationships. This process frequently entails seeking approval from the non-custodial parent and, in some situations, terminating their parental rights. We handle every legal issue, from filing the petition to representing you at the finalization hearing.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

S.G. Morrow & Associates, P.A. tailors prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect our clients. We make these agreements fair, legal, and customized for you. We make sure that these agreements are enforceable. Clients gain a clear understanding of each provision and its legal impact through our detailed explanations.
