Child Custody and Child Support

If you are getting divorced and have children, one of the most difficult questions that arises during divorce involves parenting time, custody, and child support. Where will your children live? How will parenting time be split? What amounts of child support are owed? If paternity is in question, how do you establish paternity? These are many of the associated questions that can arise in a child custody matter.

If you have children and have questions about child custody and child support, King Lindsey, P.A. are family lawyers who can assist you with developing a parenting plan, determining child support, and finding a resolution to your child custody questions that will be in the best interest of the children and that will be best for your family. If you and your former spouse disagree about where your children should reside, Florida courts will use the best interests of the child standards to determine custody. A variety of factors are considered when determining child custody, including which parent has been the primary caretaker and which parent can provide the most stable home environment. These are just some of the factors that the courts might consider. In general, it is often best when parents can reach a child custody agreement outside of court. When parents take child custody matters to a judge, there is always the possibility that the judge might make a decision neither parent wants. With the help of child custody attorneys, parents are often able to negotiate a solution that works for them and their children. King Lindsey, P.A. are child custody attorneys in Fort Lauderdale, Florida who can help you understand your rights and find the best parenting plan solution for your family.

Civil Litigation

At King Lindsey, P.A., we represent landlords and property managers in preparing lease agreements, eviction actions for nonpayment of rent and failure to comply with the lease agreement, failure by the tenant to vacate after termination of the lease agreement, or failure by the tenant to comply with Florida Statutes.

If you need to evict a tenant, Florida law requires landlords to strictly follow the procedures outlined in the Florida Statutes Section 83.  Before beginning the eviction process, contact our office where an experienced attorney can assist you to ensure you abide by the law.  Doing things such as changing the locks, turning off the air conditioning or water, can backfire and become very costly.  This is called a “self help” eviction and it could subject the landlord to a claim by the tenant for unlawful or wrongful eviction.
