Divorce

A Lawyer to Help You Through Divorce

We understand that going through a divorce is a difficult and emotional process. As a law firm, we are here to help you through the legal decisions and determinations that have to be made before your divorce is finalized.

Each divorce is different. Among the legal issues that are often involved in divorce are child support and custody, spousal maintenance (commonly known as alimony), division of assets, fathers' rights and post divorce modifications.

At Melinda A. Delpech, P.A. in Sarasota, Florida, we are fully prepared to deal with your particular situation. We will work toward an amicable settlement but are prepared to stand up for your rights in court. Contact us to set up a consultation.

Making Sure Property is Distributed Fairly

The distribution of property and assets is often a particularly complex aspect of divorce because the parties and the court need a full understanding of the overall financial picture in order to make sure the distribution is fair.

We will help you get a full account of the marital assets - including retirement assets and debts - and educate you on the legal principles of property division. If necessary, we can bring in forensic accountants to establish the facts and make the picture clearer.

Taking the Approach That is Right for the Client

Depending on your needs and your spouse's willingness to participate, you may want to consider an alternative process for arriving at a divorce settlement, such as mediation - in which a neutral mediator helps you and your spouse develop a settlement - or collaborative law - in which each side is represented by an attorney, but they agree not to go to court. We will help you explore your options.

Whether you are just beginning to consider divorce, trying to work out a settlement or interested in seeking the modification of your divorce decree, we have the knowledge and experience to help you pursue your interests and goals. Contact us today.
