During a divorce process, the parties must decide how to divide assets and/or debts, establish a child custody plan and child support payments and determine alimony. In the state of Florida, mediation is required to help the parties reach an amicable resolution. ADC strives to bring the parties to mediation as quickly as possible with the intention of reaching a settlement agreement that’s favorable to our client, thereby avoiding a court trial and prolonged emotional and financial stress.

At Affordable Divorce Center, we understand the financial strain that legal proceedings can bring, and our expertise in Divorce Law is designed to be cost-effective. Our goal is to provide quality legal low cost representation with budget-friendly payment plans, without compromising on the accessibility of our services.

FAQ

1. I need help with bills and child support now, but my spouse refuses to give me any money. I can’t wait for a final hearing. What can I do?

Temporary alimony and child support can be awarded by the Court in many cases. We will analyze your needs and your spouse’s ability to pay, prepare the appropriate pleadings and make the necessary arrangements to get you temporary relief as soon as possible.

2. We have a lot of debts. How can you help?

You and your spouse’s debts need to be equitably distributed. In a contested divorce, the parties may not agree on which person should assume a debt and/or if the responsibility for the debts should be shared. ADC is experienced in formulating equitable distribution schedules for the Court. Also, we partner and work hand-in-hand with accountants and other experts and can refer you to the appropriate expert, if necessary. No matter how small or large your liabilities, ADC will guide you through the process.

3. How long will a contested divorce take?

It’s difficult to say. Each case is unique. There are several factors. A lot depends on your spouse and whether he or she cooperates with discovery and also how willing you are to negotiate a fair settlement. The more reasonable everyone is, the quicker the case can move along. If the case can’t be settled at mediation requiring a court trial, we have no control over the court system. While the courts are crowded and sometimes overburdened, judges try to settle and close cases on their dockets as expeditiously as possible. ADC will work to make sure your result is fair, fast and favorable.

4. I lost my job and want to move to another city where my job prospects are better. Can I?

It depends. ADC will determine whether you need to file for relocation in accordance with the Florida Statutes and discuss with you the factors the Court will consider in determining whether or not to grant your request.

5. I just found out my spouse was having an ongoing affair during our marriage and taking him/her on expensive vacations without me. Am I entitled to any relief?

You may be able to claim dissipation of marital assets and ask the Court to credit you for the amount of money your spouse spent on his/her affair.

6. I hear that if I move out of the marital home, that’s considered “abandonment”. Is that true and how will that impact my case?

No, there’s no such thing as abandonment in the state of Florida. In a separation either party is able to move out of the marital home without impacting the divorce case. The parties still have to work out the financial issues surrounding the home, such as the mortgage payments, utilities and other household expenses.

7. My retirement account is in my name only. Does my spouse have a claim to that account?

Generally, if a retirement account is established during the marriage, then that account would be considered a marital asset and would be divided equally between the parties. If the account was established prior to the marriage but contributions were made during the marriage, then that account would be partially non-marital and partially marital.

What an incredible experience I had not only with Shawn but his staff as well. They made the process seamless and painless which was very appreciated.
I will no doubt recommend this firm.

Gary Chatoff

I am extremely grateful for the support and representation I received from my divorce attorney, Shawn Gearhart. From the very beginning, he was professional, patient, and diligent in handling my case. Shawn consistently took the time to walk me through each step of the process, making sure I understood what to expect and helping me feel reassured during a very difficult time.

During hearings, it was clear that his professionalism stood out. Even the judge and other attorneys had great things to say about him. His dedication, attention to detail, and calm demeanor gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I truly felt supported and well represented. I highly recommend Shawn Gearhart to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney.

After 27 years of marriage, feeling overwhelmed about the process of divorce and outcomes,God directed me to reach out to The Affordable Divorce lawyers. Shawn Gearhart and his legal support team gave me the confidence from our first meeting that I would find resolution!
From the onset my case was fairly simple and the process was seamless to final divorce. However , my ex violated the terms of divorce and I required Shawn once again to represent me. I am thrilled to say he is was successful , worked with the other attorney and truly stood up for me when I needed it most. After 2 years of battle I am at the victory line. Do not hesitate to use Shawn Gearhart and his team this is truly affordable and you are kept informed on all issues via email and phone calls.
Thank you for all you have done very grateful.

Affordable Divorce Center was a huge help when I needed it most. Mr. Shawn Gearhart is a really solid attorney who knows his stuff and keeps things straight to the point. The whole team was super attentive and actually got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. Made the whole process way less stressful. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking for good, affordable help with a divorce.

Lazaro Rodriguez

I recently retained the services of the Affordable Divorce Center following an initial consultation with Shawn Gearhart. Since we had already been living apart, we knew the most difficult part would be navigating the legal paperwork necessary to end our 29 year marriage. Mr. Gearhart was honest and patient and was very good at explaining everything each step of the way. He and his team were prompt, responsive and indeed affordable. They made a difficult period much more bearable. Even though our divorce agreement was pretty straightforward, I was very pleased (and a bit surprised) at how quickly it was done. I would recommend Mr. Gearhart and his team, should the need arise.
