Here are some of the cases handled by the firm’s Tallahassee family law attorney practice:
Contested divorce
Our Tallahassee divorce law practice is prepared to handle a wide variety of issues that can emerge during the divorce process. From simple settlements to complex challenges, we will represent your interests during negotiation, mediation, trial litigation, and even appeals. We work hard to secure what you deserve.
When children are involved, Diana Cohn Law, P.A. helps families quickly and effectively resolve issues that arise during divorce proceedings. Indeed, when it comes to children, having a strong and steady hand in your corner can be invaluable. We develop unique solutions that balance immediate practical problems, like custody and visitation, with long-term objectives, like parenting plans that minimize future conflicts.
Uncontested divorce
An uncontested divorce takes place when a couple agrees on all major terms of a divorce without having to argue in court. However, this doesn’t mean uncontested divorces happen without issue, only that the couple can arrive at an agreement without a judge or mediator.
When considering an uncontested divorce, it’s widely recommended that you hire a lawyer to represent your interests during the negotiation process and when developing a Marital Settlement Agreement. A lawyer can keep you from paying too much or receiving too little spousal support or child support, or lose property or time-sharing with your child. We’ve been through this before and can offer sound counsel while guiding you through the legal process.
Child custody
We recognize that child custody and paternity disputes can be stressful and emotionally charged. Our child custody law practice is ready to support you through this complicated process with a commitment to responsiveness and reliability. With an assertive, client-first approach, we will work tirelessly to protect your rights and the nurturing commitment you share with your children. We represent clients in a variety of child custody matters, including time-sharing, family relocation, paternity, custody evaluations, and trials, and child abduction and enforcement issues.
Child support
Diana Cohn Law, P.A. can help with calculating and securing child support payments and enforcing child support orders. If paternity is disputed, we can arrange for DNA testing to confirm parentage. Delaying a paternity evaluation could result in the loss of child support payments; so we urge swift legal action. Once paternity is confirmed, our attorneys can advocate for a fair award of child support.
Spousal support
Divorces can wreak financial havoc in your life—a lower standard of living and retirement uncertainty frequently top the list. Spousal support can help to minimize the upheaval. Our divorce attorneys can help with calculating and securing spousal support payments and enforcing spousal support orders. If your former spouse has attempted to hide income or assets, we can leverage a network of investigators, forensic accountants, vocational experts, and business valuation appraisers to identify and properly value undisclosed assets and assist in preparing a complex spousal support case for settlement or trial.
