Let's talk about the most common myths about child support and child custody. in Florida, the issues of child support and child custody are considered separately, and therefore they are not linked. Remember, just because you know someone with a specific custody situation and child payment situation, does NOT mean yours will be the same. Every family is different and every family law case is unique. Myth 1) If there is no child support paid, it will affect your time-sharing. For example, if you are behind on payments, you don't get to see the kids. This is NOT true. Custody and child support are separate in Florida. Myth 2) 50/50 custody means no child support has to be paid. This is NOT true. Every situation is different, and child support is calculated on a case by case basis. Myth 3) If you don't want child support it can be waived. This is NOT true. Child support is not for you, it is for your child. You can always put the child support in a separate bank account and give it to your child later in life.

Congratulations on getting engaged! Are you considering getting a prenup? Here are three reasons why you should consider getting a prenup before you marry the love of your life. We understand that you want to think about getting married and planning the wedding, not getting divorced. But, you don't expect your house to catch on fire just because you have insurance. Think about a prenup as insurance. 1) Divorce costs money. One of the biggest fears of people potentially getting a divorce is how much it is going to cost. Without a prenup, divorce can cost significantly more in legal fees. A prenup prevents this from happening. 2) If you think divorce is expensive, how would you feel inheriting someone else's debt, without knowing it? When you marry someone, debt is combined and is considered joint debt. Without a prenup, if you one day get a divorce, you might be stuck with debt that is not your own. When you go through the prenup process everyone is required to disclose their debts so no one is going into the marriage blind. 3) A prenup is the best way to keep your family's inheritance in your family. Without a prenup, your inheritance might be divided and part of it given to your spouse, and there is potential that if they one day remarry, for their new family to receive your family's inheritance. A prenup can prevent this mess. If you have more questions about prenups, give our office a call today. If you want more tips and advice about family law, subscribe to our YouTube channel!

What is a marital settlement agreement? It is the legal name for a divorce contract. What goes into a marital settlement agreement, or divorce contract? There are a few things that all divorce contracts should have. 1) All of your assets. Who gets what? The house, the car, the bank accounts, retirement accounts. 2) All of your debts. Who pays what and by when? Mortgage payments, car payments, credit card payments, etc. Also, what happens if the other party doesn't hold up their end of the deal? 3) Alimony agreements. Make sure this agreement includes who pays what and by when, and what happens if they don't pay it? Include tax consequences and outlines what happens if alimony needs to be changed. 4) If you have children you need to include a custody agreement or parenting plan. This will include child support, who pays what, when, and what happens if they fail to pay. Divorce is tricky and a lot more goes into divorce contracts than four bullet points.

So you’ve fallen in love and you want to spend forever with your loved one in the United States. There are a couple of options though, so which is best for you, the K-1 Visa or a CR-1 Visa? The K-1 Visa is what’s known as the fiancé visa. This will allow you to bring your “forever after” to the United States but there are some requirements to this Visa. You need to be a United States citizen, you have to have met your love in person within the last two years, and you have to be able to get legally married. The CR-1 Visa is a spousal petition in order for you to bring your significant other to the United States. In order for you to do that you need to be legally married. For somebody to be a petitioner, it could be either a United States citizen or a lawful permanent resident. You need to prove that this relationship is for love, and not an immigration benefit. There is definitely not a one-size-fits-all answer, but an experienced immigration attorney will help you come up with the best strategy for your case. Give us a call today.

“Do I even need a family law attorney?” If you’ve been asking yourself this, I understand. There are so many resources out there that you’re thinking it might be easier to just do it yourself. I’m here to tell you that it will not be easier, at it will actually just make it a lot harder in the long run. Doing things yourself can lead to plenty of mistakes, which will lead to you wasting a lot of time. Get it done right the first time, because mistakes cost time, and time costs money. A $500 mistake on a child support calculation may not seem like much but over a 10-year period that's $60,000. Now, what if that mistake is on your retirement? You only want to get this done once and you want to get it done right. If you want to save time, money, and aggravation, give us a call today.

So, what does the process of a family law case look like? It depends, but there are a few basic steps they all have in common. The first step to a family law case is always to file the proper paperwork. So if you're looking to get divorced, we first need to file the divorce petition. Then your spouse will be notified and they have 20 days to respond. If you are the one who needs to respond, you need to do so within that 20 days or essentially give up the whole case. The next part of any family law case is discovery. This is where both parties share critical information with each other about the case. Essentially, you're "discovering" what the other side has, and gives us a bigger picture. From there we move to mediation and ideally, this is the last step. mediation is where you meet with a neutral third [arty to come to a decision about everything. If a resolution is not found here then the next step would be a trial, and this can add a lot of time and money to your case. There is a lot that goes into each individual family law case, and it is really important you have an experienced family law attorney on your team. Matters like this are critical and time-sensitive but we are here to help. Contact JP Law Group Today: info@jp-lawgroup.com (305) 615-1005 #familylawflorida #dicorceattorney #mediation

Divorce is scary, nobody ever gets married planning to divorce one day. You’re probably feeling a plethora of emotions. If you’ve just had a divorce action filed against you, there are three things you need to focus on first. First, let’s make an action plan. Ask yourself a few questions. If you have children, what do you want the custody agreement to look like? Consider the day-to-day stuff. What do you want to have and what are you willing to share? No kids? If you have property with your spouse what do you want to happen with that? It is very likely that you share property, even if you might not realize it. Florida is a community property state, meaning that if you’re married in Florida then anything you own, your spouse owns, and anything they own, you own. This even includes property and debt. How do you want the debt to be divided? What feels fair to you? Second, start gathering your documents. This includes 3 years of taxes, 12 months of bank statements, 6 months of paystubs, deeds for property you own or have owned, and the list goes on and on. My biggest tip — do not procrastinate! Once you’ve been served, you have only 20 days. If you’ve been served, call us. You don’t have to do this alone. When you’re ready to start your new beginning, give us a call.
