Ambrose Family Law

Honest And Caring Representation
Alimony/Spousal support
Alimony/Spousal support payments are awarded based on need; there are no mandatory guidelines for establishing a proper amount or term of support. It is at the discretion of the court and therefore it is essential that you have an experienced law firm, like Ambrose Family Law, as your advocate.

Equitable Distribution
Equitable Distribution is the division of assets and debt obligations during a divorce proceeding. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means the court determines what is equitable in the division of your property and liabilities. We can answer all of your questions and be your advocate, for the best possible outcome.

Appeals
An appeal is a formal request for a higher court to clarify and interpret the law, as it was applied to your case. You may believe there was court bias, incorrect factual findings, abuse of power or failing to consider important evidence in your case. If you want to file an appeal of your divorce decree, it is urgent that we begin the process today.

Contempt and Enforcement of orders
It is not uncommon for a court order to be ignored or violated, resulting in contempt of court adjudications. For example, non payment of child support or not following the parenting plan can result in sanctions from the court. If your ex-spouse is in violation or if you are being accused of being in violation of a judgment, it is important that you have experienced representation. Ambrose Family Law can properly present the issues to court. Call for an appointment to discuss your case.

Child custody and timesharing
The court considers many factors in child custody and timesharing, but ultimately they believe it is best for the child to have an on-going and supportive relationship with both parents. The best interest of the child is the guiding principle in all child related matters in the Florida courts. Let us help you negotiate a parenting plan that meets the needs of your family.

Child support
Child support is the right of the child, not the parents. The State of Florida has adopted a formula to determine what each parent must pay to support their children after separation. This formula is based on many pieces of information and wrong information can make a significant difference in your child support order. Schedule a consultation today with Ambrose Family Law, to discuss this important matter.

Family Law Mediator

Mediation is one type of Alternative Dispute Resolution that is utilized in the legal system in the State of Florida for conflict resolution. It is required in every family law case before a court will set the matter for trial. It is an effective complement to the judicial system, whereby a neutral third party assists the parties in conflict resolution, with the goal of reaching a settlement of their family law issues.
