Protecting Your Rights in Florida Divorce

Seeking a divorce involves determining many factors that will affect the rest of your life. Turn to Adam R. Cowhey, P.A., Attorney & Counselor, to help you make those decisions. Mr. Cowhey will protect your rights and work hard to achieve your goals in negotiation or in the courtroom.

Resolving Every Aspect of Your Divorce

Divorce can be stressful, both financially and emotionally. Mr. Cowhey will address all of your concerns and protect your rights throughout the divorce process. Sometimes, ending a marriage can be fairly simple. However, most of the time there are numerous factors to be addressed, including:

• Division of Marital Property: It is important to protect your personal property in divorce. All marital debt, property and other assets will be divided between you and your spouse. Mr. Cowhey will facilitate business valuations and property appraisals when necessary.


• Alimony: Florida courts take into account the need of a spouse as well as the other spouse's ability to pay. Alimony is awarded on a case by case basis, and marital misconduct may also be a determining factor. There are numerous other factors to be considered when determining the entitlement to and amount of alimony.


• Parenting Plan: In Florida, child custody, visitation and parental responsibility are part of the parenting plan. The court takes into account the best interests of minor children in these matters. Mr. Cowhey will work to achieve your goals regarding the determination of a primary parent and the establishment of a visitation or time-sharing arrangement.


• Child support: Although Florida courts require parties to calculate child support using the Florida Child Support Guidelines, many difficulties often arise in computing an accurate child support amount. Further, if a party receives a substantial amount of parenting time (or visitation), he/she may be entitled to a reduction in child support.

Mr. Cowhey understands that financial considerations are very important in divorce, especially given the present economy. He will work with you to find the most cost-effective option for your divorce, while keeping in mind your legal goals.
