Litigating any type of matter can be time-consuming, costly, and emotionally draining. Contentious family law cases can be especially difficult because many personal matters involving your marriage, children, and lifestyle may be carefully examined and judged in open court. However, just because you and your spouse disagree on one or more issues does not mean that you have to fight it out in court.
Dealing with a divorce or other family law matter - especially where significant assets and children are involved - can be one of the most difficult challenges you will ever have to face. Often, such matters involve significant emotional upheaval, relocation out of the marital home, strained relations between spouses and children, and, in some cases, extreme financial turbulence and uncertainty.
Under Florida law, it is the duty of each parent to help provide for the support of all children, regardless of whether the parents are married, separated, divorced, or have never been married. Seeking child support and responding to child support requests can be an intimidating and confusing process.
Most people don't get married ever imagining that one day they will be seeking a divorce. Many financial pressures occur in a divorce. A significant pressure is an imminent expense of running two households with the same amount of income that often times was insufficient to run one home. This is often an overwhelming consideration for the spouse with little or no independent income.
When two spouses divorce in Florida, they must divide their marital assets and liabilities. You and your spouse may negotiate with each other to determine a division of property and liabilities. If you are unable to agree to a division of their property and liabilities, the court will divide your assets and liabilities.

Kathryn Welsh was amazing and willing to help us with an issue that was even out of her specialty - going above and beyond with research and closure for the case. She is personable and at the same time totally professional. Her staff is also first class and always helpful and prompt. It was a pleasure doing business with her and very helpful having her on our side!!

I wouldn’t recommend anyone but Katherine Welsh for a divorce attorney. She’s an incredible attorney that will fight for your rights and those of your children. She handled my case with empathy, honor and was aggressive when needed. A divorce is life changing and is never an easy event to go through but with an attorney like Mrs. Welsh you can at least be comforted in the face that you have the best possible team in your corner. Thank you to Katherine and her staff for ensuring my rights and that of my children were met.

She was great. Truly and in every way.
I had a difficult, unwed father custody case. She had a long conversation with me about it, what I wanted and why. She gave me realistic expectations, was honest about what it would take to keep my son a part of my life. She delivered. She wasn’t afraid to be honest with me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing help with family law.
I’m greatly appreciative. Thank you Kathryn!

I met in Consultation with Mrs. Welsh March/April 2012 b/c my ex- filed a Petition re: our children. She included her Associate Mrs. L. Lamb(presently on Maternity Leave as of the past 3 wks or so.) Initially both seemed capable, knowledgeable and competent. I retained them the same day as my Consultation.
After paying them the very last of my Disability settlement ($3,500), months followed of "spotty at best" communication. I have an ample collection of bills and a paperwork trail and VERY LITTLE to show for it.
Mrs. Welsh gave my Case to Mrs. Lamb. Initially I trusted them
