Mr. Lawrence Katz is an excellent attorney, extremely intelligent, very professional, ethical and has extensive knowledge, experience and skills in family law cases especially involving international child adbuction cases. Larry offered me the support and legal assistance at all times. He kept me up to date on everything that was happening. He provided my case with great attention to detail, always answering my questions and addressing my concerns in a timely manner. Larry's hard work and dedication are directly responsible for the successful outcome of my stressful and complicated case. I am also very appreciative for his paralegal, Fanny Arribas. She is very understanding, caring and supportive. I HIGHLY recommend Larry for any family law related matter without hesitation. THANK YOU Larry for being an exceptional attorney!

If you are looking for a REAL lawyer, Larry is definitely the professional you should go for. I have been living in the United States for 17 years now, have met many professionals in that field and Larry's competence, knowledge and professionalism are definitely incomparable. When I first met Larry, he dedicated me 3 hours to fully understand my needs, carefully listening and guiding me, he never looked at his watch and never charged me a consultation fee, he truly wanted to help me and I really needed that help! Larry focus in details, guides with precision, works with passion, finds the solution. Larry is an admirable professional and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to have Larry as my attorney. Thank you Larry for everything you’ve done for me. Also, I want to thank Fanny too, she is an amazing paralegal that helped me since day one. Fanny is so kind and professional, so helpful and caring, thank you Fanny, you are awesome too!

Questions & Answers

What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?

Florida is a no-fault divorce state. This means that you can get a divorce or dissolution of marriage on grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken or that one of the parties is mentally incapacitated. You can also allege traditional grounds for divorce, such as adultery or abandonment, if it is strategically wise to prove fault in your specific circumstances. Proof that the other spouse committed acts of domestic violence, made false statements on government forms or dissipated assets can work to your benefit when it is time for the judge to make decisions regarding child custody, alimony and property divisions. You may call our office to schedule a consultation with our seasoned divorce attorney in Miami.

In Miami-Dade County, the clerk of the court charges $409 to accept your petition for divorce and officially open a court case. This fee is collected by Miami-Dade County at the time the petition is filed and is in addition to the cost of the issuance of a summons and the legal services that our Miami divorce lawyer provides.

How is child custody time-sharing determined?

Judges consider a number of factors when deciding who gets a certain percentage of time with the children. Factors include the strength of each parent’s relationship and bond with the children, which parent is the primary caregiver for the children, which parent is most likely to encourage visitation (time-sharing) with the other parent and whether each parent is physically and mentally capable of caring for the child. Previous domestic violence, aggression, neglect, abuse and other bad behavior weigh heavily against a parent seeking custody. You can call our office and schedule a consultation to speak with a seasoned Miami divorce lawyer from our office.
