Protecting Your Rights in High-Conflict Divorce Cases Throughout Northeast Florida
When a divorce involves disputes over child custody, division of property, alimony, or other critical issues, it is considered a contested divorce. As St. Augustine Divorce Attorney, our legal team provides experienced and strategic representation to protect your interests and advocate for your future when negotiations break down and litigation becomes necessary.
A contested divorce occurs when spouses cannot reach agreement on one or more key issues, including:
Time-sharing (custody and parenting plans)
Child support
Alimony (spousal support)
Division of marital assets and debts
Who keeps the marital home
Relocation of minor children
In contested cases, the outcome will ultimately be determined by a judge unless a resolution is reached through mediation or settlement conferences.
Our St. Augustine Divorce Attorney represents clients in high-conflict, emotionally charged divorce cases in St. Johns County and throughout Northeast Florida. Our approach is:
Focused – We concentrate exclusively on family law and divorce matters.
