In Florida, dissolution of marriage actions, which are commonly referred to as divorces, are based on either the marriage is irretrievably broken or mental incapacity of one of the spouses. Florida does not require a party to prove fault as a grounds for divorce, i.e. no-fault divorce. Divorcing couples may settle their divorce terms outside of court through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law.
When it comes to matters involving children including the calculation of child support, few people are actually prepared for the emotional toll that these legal battles can take.
After years of helping clients through the challenging circumstance of child custody battles for parental responsibility and timeshare schedules and child support cases, I have learned that having an experienced attorney who can be attentive to your family's needs throughout the entire process can make all the difference in the world.

Alimony, sometimes known as spousal support, is a payment that is made by one spouse to the other spouse. Alimony is based upon the financial "need" of the requesting spouse and the "ability to pay" of the paying spouse. Typically, the purpose of alimony is to help correct any unbalanced economic effects caused by the divorce.

Ms. Snyder was actually our 2nd attorney after my father's first attorney did a terrible job representing my father during the first few months of his divorce case. We were desperate to find an attorney that was highly respected, effective, aggressive, and would fight for my dad. Ms. Snyder came highly recommended and after an initial consultation, we knew that we had to hire her.
Ms. Snyder is an experienced litigator and also understands the benefit of having a compromise between the parties. She always made herself available to us and answered each and every question. She was reassuring yet

I previously had hired an attorney who actually made me look stupid in court. I was so upset with the situation I then contacted Meshelle who reassured me that everything was gonna be just fine, and she did just that we went to court she handle everything very professionally And was very easy to work with. She helped me with all legal advice and I’m glad I picked her to represent me for my custody case.

My exwife thru the book at me, I was looking at only being able to see my kids on the weekends and when it was convenient for her. Ms. Snyder, tells it how it is. She doesn’t make promises she can’t keep, she doesn’t get your hopes up with unrealistic things a judge would not or could not ever order. It is very hard to find anyone with common sense. She is honest and upfront. Make sure you tell her everything upfront. She knows the law and knows what judges can and cannot do. If you are looking to spend time with your kids she is the attorney for you! Me writing this doesn’t come close

Meshelle Snyder was the right choice for me. My case was not an easy one because it had some pitfalls through the case but she knew exactly what to do to handle them making me feel confident that everything was under control. During the process she showed her professionalism, honesty, human considerations and her experience as a family attorney. In my opinion, no body could do it better than her. I know, to be an attorney, is her profession but for me, she has a gift and she clearly knows it. I highly recommend Meshelle Snyder.

Meshelle was referred to me by two different people. Her retainer fee is very reasonable. Her office is convenient to the courthouse. And she’s familiar with the judges, mediators, and all the other attorneys.
I strongly recommend Meshelle Snyder. The first time I went to family court I did not have an attorney because of finances. When I went back, I had her on my side and the results were night and day.

Meshelle Snyder was the right choice for me while navigating through my divorce. I interviewed several other family law attorneys before choosing her. I liked her personal and thoughtful approach in achieving my desired result. Ms. Snyder was well-educated, experienced, and skilled in her craft. She and her assistant were both responsive to my needs and handled every situation with professionalism. Her excellent reputation is well-deserved. I was happy with the result and highly recommend her.
