Fort LauderdaleDivorce Attorney
Divorce and family-law representation from our Fort Lauderdale office. Talk with us about your children, your finances and the decisions you need to make.
What needs to be resolved?
Your priorities shape the conversation. Whether you are considering divorce or already in a case, start with the issues that will affect your family and financial future.
Property & financial interests
A home, retirement accounts, investments, business interests and debts can all raise questions in a divorce. Identify the financial issues that need attention early.
Property divisionChildren & parenting
Discuss parental responsibility, a workable parenting schedule and the practical needs of your children. Existing arrangements and future changes deserve careful attention.
Parenting plansAlimony & child support
Income, expenses and ongoing support obligations are important parts of planning for life after separation. The relevant facts differ from one family to another.

A few common questions.
What should I prepare for my divorce consultation?
Bring your main questions, a general picture of your finances and any court dates or response deadlines. Let intake know whether papers have been filed or agreements signed. Ask which documents Gary needs and how to send them securely; please do not upload confidential records through the website.
What if we already agree on some issues?
Let us know what you have discussed and whether anything has been signed. The consultation can address what remains unresolved and whether an agreement or further court proceedings may be needed.
How much will representation cost?
The initial consultation is $200, waived for referrals. Representation is a separate engagement. The initial retainer and ongoing billing depend on the matter and will be discussed before you decide to hire the firm. A retainer is not a promise of the total cost of a divorce.
How long could my divorce take?
Timing depends on the issues, financial information, cooperation between the parties and the court schedule. We can discuss the factors affecting your situation at the consultation; there is no single timeline that fits every case.
Let’s discuss your next step.
Request a consultation with our Fort Lauderdale team. Please share only basic contact information until the firm confirms how to provide sensitive information securely.
