Navigating a major family change is not easy and can be incredibly difficult. No matter if you are ending your marriage, figuring out how to co-parent children, or protecting assets you have worked hard for, the actions you take legally today will influence your future for a long time. The court system within the State of Florida can be complex, but it can be even more complex because of the heavy emotions involved in these situations. With your children, money, and the future at stake, finding an experienced and specialized family law attorney West Palm Beach is of utmost importance. The Law Office of Grant Gisondo has dedicated itself to providing their clients in South Florida with expert advice and support during these difficult times with compassion, adept advocacy, and knowledge of applicable family law in South Florida.

Florida has a lot of laws that relate to families. Family issues involve much more than just divorcing a couple; it includes many different things like divorce, property, debts, finances and children. Florida has laws that govern all court cases laid out in the form of statutes and local court rules. Furthermore, Florida's judges will make their decision based on how fair each case is to both parties, especially when children are involved; therefore, it is very important that the attorney presents the facts in a way that will allow the judge to make a good decision for the children.

If you do not have an attorney representing you, there is a great chance of making a big mistake when trying to deal with laws concerning families in Florida. Attorney Grant Gisondo has represented individuals in family law cases in West Palm Beach. He provides services to his clients that are designed to meet their individual needs and defend their rights as they relate to family law cases.

1. Divorce. Divorce is never a simple process; straight from the beginning, there are almost always some disagreements over how property will be divided, how debts will be paid, how much alimony will be paid, etc. Florida uses the principle of "equitable distribution" when dividing marital property, meaning the court will divide property fairly but not necessarily 50/50. Attorney Grant Gisondo works hard at determining the value of all of your assets, including any real estate or business interests you may have, to ensure that you get a fair and equitable distribution of your assets and that they are properly accounted for.

2. Child Custody and Timesharing

   Since the well-being and safety of your children are the most critical factors, Florida child custody laws have changed. The terms "custody" and "visitation" are no longer used by the courts, and instead, a full Parenting Plan along with a thorough Timeshare schedule will be needed by the court. The overall standard that will be used to decide child-related disputes is the child's best interests.

   Creating a workable Parenting Plan requires a balance between negotiation and legal expertise. At the Law Office of Grant Gisondo, we create effective timeshare schedules for you that protect your parental rights and reduce any emotional hardship to you and your children.

   3. Alimony and Spousal Support

   Alimony is determined based on one partner’s needs and the ability of the other partner to pay. With recent changes to the Florida Alimony Statute and Alimony law, finding a qualified family law attorney who follows the changes in legislation is critical. Grant Gisondo provides you with straightforward financial analysis and client advocacy whether you are requesting spousal support or defending against a spousal support demand.

   4. Paternity and Father’s Rights

   Establishing legal paternity is very important for unmarried parents. For mothers, establishing paternity provides the means for the child to receive the financial support required. For fathers, establishing paternity provides the right to be involved in making major life decisions for their child.
