Keeping a child custody dispute from ruining your life
How can you thrive as a single parent?
When you are going through a divorce in Florida, you could temporarily be the sole parent. Depending on your situation, your responsibilities may extend beyond your divorce if you are granted full custody of your children. If your ex is not fit to share parenting responsibilities with you, you could end up being a single parent and the charge of raising your children falls solely on your shoulders.
All alimony is not created equal
When Florida couples divorce, it is often after months or years of trying to repair the relationship. In many cases, one spouse pays money to the other after the settlement. If you are considering divorce, it is worth noting that the court can use its discretion when determining how much and length of the payments. At The Minaya Law Offices, PLLC, we often represent clients who wish for some form of spousal support after the divorce.

Dealing with emotions like sadness, anger and confusion can create a distraction and cause a child to struggle to focus and excel.
