Family Law

Florida family law attorneys for complex, high-stakes cases

Florida family law covers a wide range of matters, and navigating it can be a complex journey, especially amid life-altering circumstances like divorce. At the Law Offices of E.F. Robinson, P.A., we understand that these experiences are not just about legal proceedings, they are about moving toward the next chapter of your life.

High-Net-Worth and Complex Divorce Litigation

We handle high-net-worth and complex divorce litigation throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, bringing a thorough understanding of the financial issues these cases involve. With experience in complex asset division, we work to see that the process is handled carefully and fairly. Visit our Divorce page for more on how we approach these cases.

Child Custody, Timesharing, and Parental Responsibility

We recognize the importance of co-parenting and work toward custody and parental responsibility arrangements that prioritize the wellbeing of the children involved. Our firm handles timesharing, parental responsibility, and relocation matters throughout the process, always keeping the children’s best interests in focus. See our Child Custody & Parental Responsibility and Timesharing pages for more detail.

Florida law separates custody into two parts: parental responsibility, which covers decision-making authority, and timesharing, which covers the physical schedule. A parenting plan addressing both is required in nearly every case involving children.

Spousal Support, Alimony, and Post-Judgment Modifications

Our firm helps clients pursue or respond to spousal support and alimony claims that reflect their circumstances. We also help with post-judgment modifications, guiding clients through the process when life circumstances change after a final judgment. Learn more on our Alimony and Modifications pages.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

We help clients draft solid prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that hold up under Florida law. Visit our Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements page for more detail.

Paternity

We handle paternity matters with discretion and sensitivity, helping parents establish or contest paternity and secure the rights that follow. Our Paternity page covers this process in more depth.

Juvenile Dependency and Guardian Advocacy

For families with a child who has special needs, or families involved in the juvenile dependency system, we are here to help make sure their unique needs are met. Our Guardian Advocacy page covers how we support families through this process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “family law” cover in Florida?

Florida family law includes divorce, timesharing and parental responsibility, child support, alimony, paternity, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and post-judgment modifications, along with related matters such as guardian advocacy.

Do I need a family law attorney for an uncontested matter?

Florida allows self-represented filings for simple, uncontested cases. An attorney becomes more important when children, significant assets, a business, or disputed facts are involved, since mistakes in these areas can be costly to correct later.

How long does a Florida family law case typically take?

Timelines vary widely depending on whether the matter is contested. An uncontested case with an agreement in hand can resolve in a matter of weeks, while a contested case involving custody or complex assets can take considerably longer.

Which counties do you serve?

We represent clients in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, with our office located in Tamarac, Florida.
