Divorce can turn your world upside down. To navigate the legal aspects, you need an experienced attorney in your corner.

Alimony is typically known as payment from one former spouse to the other following a divorce. Often called spousal support, alimony is determined by the judge and can paid as a lump sum, in regular payments, or a more temporary option for an interim arrangement. There are different types of alimony including (but not limited to):

Lasseigne & Ladner, P.A., provides the support needed to help you go through this process as quickly as possible. We can advocate for your rights and are sensitive to your needs as you go through this difficult time.

It is important for fathers to stay involved in their children's lives even after they have been divorced or separated from the mother. If you are established as the legal father of your children, your paternity rights can be protected. Filing a paternity case will provide the parties with a time sharing and parenting plan along with potential child support and school designation. Allow our team of professionals to handle your case and protect your rights.

After a divorce or paternity case is closed, you have the right to seek modifications to accommodate the new circumstances of your new life. Modifications typically happen when there has been a substantial change in circumstances in the life of the former husband or wife, the minor children, and/or the financial status of the former husband or wife. Modifications require official recognition from the court which is where the attorneys at Lasseigne & Ladner, P.A. can be of assistance. Our team can help prepare the documents and records needed for the court to accept the modifications.

You deserve to see your child as much as any other parent. Setting up a visitation schedule (time sharing and parenting plan) and getting visitation rights is the first step to keeping the relationship between you and your child. Lasseigne & Ladner, P.A., can handle visitation matters and get you the support that you deserve.

Adoption is a beautiful way to add to your family! The adoption process can be difficult, so allow Lasseigne & Ladner, P.A., to guide you along the way. Whether you are working through an adoption agency or trying to adopt from a family member, we can handle the legal issues so that you can focus on your new family.

Child custody, or parental responsibility, works in the best interest of the child(ren) while the family goes through a difficult time. There are many types of child custody that the court can order including:

While considering who has custody of the child, you must also be aware of the financial support that they need. Children have financial needs, and we can help you understand the options that you have. In Florida, minor children are entitled to be financially supported by two parents. It is important to have experienced attorneys on your site to navigate financial affidavits, child support guidelines worksheets, and dividing the expenses because it can be stressful. It is our job to make sure that you accurately report your income and financial situation to avoid any consequences under child support law.
