Family Lawyers in Broward County

“Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.” – Helen Rowland

Family lawyers in Broward County are a critical component of the complex Florida family law system that governs people’s obligations to their spouses and children.  Florida Family Law is a very broad area that controls diverse situations such as where separated parents in South Florida may reside with their children, when grandparents may see their grandchildren, and when children may make important decisions for themselves without their parents’ consent.



South Florida Divorce Attorneys
assist families in settling disputes pertaining to property rights, support needs, child custody and parenting responsibilities.  Unless spouses sign binding, written marital agreements, Florida Family Law generally considers them to be equal partners in earnings, accumulations, and debts.

Some rights and obligations, however, cannot be negotiated away under Florida Family Law.  People cannot be released from their obligations to support their children.  Even when one parent may agree in writing to give up claims against the other parent for child support, such agreements are unenforceable under Florida Family Law because child support is established for the children’s welfare, not for the parents.  Similarly, even though spouses can agree to waive potential claims against one another for alimony to be paid after their divorce, a spouse may still be required under Florida Family Law to support the other spouse until their divorce is final.
