Advocating For an Equitable Distribution of Marital Property

In Florida, marital property includes any assets or property you and your spouse acquired during your marriage. At the office of William Falik, P.A., we consult forensic accountants and other experts to help us determine the extent of your marital property. We also work with them to understand the value of your joint assets, as well as the extent of your debts or any hidden assets.

Divorce attorney William Falik is a skilled negotiator prepared to advocate for an equitable distribution of your joint assets and liabilities. Equitable distribution does not necessarily mean a 50-50 split. Equitable distribution requires identification of assets and liabilities, valuation of those assets and liabilities, and classification as to whether those assets and liabilities will be subject to distribution. Only after all property has been properly valued and classified can we seek a distribution that is both equitable and beneficial to you.

Handling Spousal Support and Child Support Matters

At the office of William Falik, P.A., we have strong legal roots representing clients seeking support from a spouse who has the ability to pay. Attorney William Falik also advocates to protect clients from paying alimony to a financially-independent former spouse. Every case is unique. We will explain the guidelines used by court to determine if spousal support is available, the duration and the amount of support, including:

  • The duration of the marriage
  • Extent of future employment opportunities
  • Standard of living during the marriage
  • Relative financial position of the parties

We also draw on our firm's extensive background in and out of the courtroom to help secure our clients' rights to receive child support. Factors considered by the court in ordering child support and the amount ordered include:

  • Child support guidelines 
  • Child support payments to other children
  • Children's special medical needs
  • Number of children common to both parties
  • Both party's incomes
  • Time-sharing plan

We will work closely with you to make sure the child support calculations are based on accurate information. Attorney William Falik also advocates to help insure the children's best interests are met by addressing timesharing solutions.

Offering Modification Services

Support orders are not meant to be written in stone. If you are paying alimony or child support and can no longer meet your legal obligations or the amount of support you receive is insufficient, you may be able to modify your original divorce decree. You may also be able to modify your current time-sharing plan.
