Florida Divorce

Divorce is a difficult time, but it is also a time when the groundwork is being laid for your future. Divorce attorney Jonathan Culver works not only to protect your rights and interests in divorce court, but also to protect your relationship with your children and your ability to work together with your former spouse to continue parenting your children.

At the law office of Jonathan Culver, we prepare our clients for the legal process while at the same time helping them deal with the emotional issues of divorce. When possible, we help people resolve the issues of divorce (marital property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support) outside the courtroom using negotiation or mediation.

Divorce Mediation

Mediation is not the solution for everyone facing divorce, but it can be a good option for many people. Divorce mediation has many benefits:

• It is almost always faster than litigation
• It is typically less expensive than taking your divorce to Florida family court
• The settlement agreement that results when two people work together to resolve their differences is usually more satisfactory to both parties
• Even if all of the issues are not resolved, you can take those areas of agreement you did reach to the court and allow a judge to handle those issues you could not resolve

If you are interested in learning more about divorce mediation and whether it would be a good option for you, contact our Gainesville or Ocala law office to schedule a face-to-face meeting to learn more. Family lawyer Jonathan Culver is certified as a family law mediator in state of Florida.

Handling the Extra Details

Don't forget that after a divorce or when you adopt a child, you may need to change your will, property deeds, powers of attorney, living will, or health care directive. We can help you with these estate and probate changes.
