Although alimony is not required or an automatic feature of every divorce, it is frequently asked for and often granted in Florida divorce cases, especially cases where one party has a high net worth compared to the other. Getting alimony requires proving you genuinely need it, and the other party is able to pay it.
Child support is an issue in any divorce where the spouses are responsible for a minor child in some way. Child support can also be ordered as part of a paternity action or other family law proceeding. Although child support is, in large part, determined by resort to the Florida Child Support Guidelines, many factors go into determining the correct amount of support, including deviating from the guidelines in appropriate circumstances.

Belinda and I have had many cases over the years, some more litigious than others. Knowing Belinda is on the other side lets me know the client will be receiving great advice tailored to his/her family circumstance and not some cookie-cutter, every case is the same, one-size-fits-all approach. I also know Belinda will be ethical and professional to every lawyer and every client, every time, and in every case.

Christin is a rock star.
When it comes to family law, Finding the right attorney can mitigate the risks and stress. Christin helped me through a very awful divorce and helped guide the process smoothly to the end.
She inspires confidence by her professionalism and knowledge of family law and also knows how to assist help families through tough times.
I would love to keep her as my best kept secret, but I Sure can't help to recommend her to the world considering the great service and peace of mind she provided my family and I.

Belinda Lazarra - WORST Guardian Ad Litem. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Real disservice to my 6yr old daughter’s well-being during her guardianship that merits a REFUND. Belinda stood idle and did nothing, but happily bill while my daughter (between ages 3-5yrs old) was constantly being asked ugly questions by DCF. So sad. Belinda also couldn’t honor her own word for something she herself wrote in the parenting plan that stated she wouldn’t bill, but then dreamed up some excuse as to why she should. Can’t make this stuff up. Again, more worried about billing than doing her job properly. Thank goodness

This firm is amazing. Everyone is very professional. Most importantly they get results. Law firms don't tend to have that many reviews on google so I wasn't sure who to hire. I was referred by a friend because Peter had been the lawyer for his ex wife and he lost in a big way. When I went in for my consultation Peter was very honest with me on what he thought I would be able to win. He assigned my case to Alexa. I LOVE Alexa. She is extremely smart and professional but more importantly she is a bulldog. Seriously don't let her looks full you. That woman will build a detailed case that covers everything
