Family law counsel that fits inside the larger plan.

Family law and estate planning are deeply connected. A marriage rewrites the rules of inheritance. A divorce alters them again. The birth of a child triggers a need for guardianship designations, custodial accounts, and beneficiary updates. Our family law practice exists to handle the matters most closely tied to estate and elder law, with the same plain-spoken approach.

For couples planning to marry, we draft prenuptial agreements that clearly define separate and marital property, address inheritance rights, and protect children from prior relationships. Postnuptial agreements serve the same purpose for couples already married. In every case, the agreement is coordinated with each spouse's will, trust, and beneficiary designations so the documents work together rather than against each other.

For couples ending a marriage, we handle uncontested and lightly contested Florida divorces with care and dignity. We address property division, alimony where applicable, and the practical questions that follow: how to retitle assets, how to update beneficiary designations, how to revise an existing trust, and how to plan for any minor children. For high-conflict litigation, we will refer you to trusted Florida family lawyers and remain available for the estate work that follows.

For families raising minor children or caring for an adult relative who cannot manage their own affairs, we handle guardianship petitions and draft preneed guardianship designations as part of broader estate planning. Special-needs planning often pairs guardianship with a special-needs trust, ensuring care and financial support without disqualifying the beneficiary from public benefits.

Across all of this work, the goal is the same. Family law decisions made in isolation tend to create surprises later. Decisions made with an eye toward the full plan rarely do.
