It is advised that you contact us for our low-cost representation programs in the following circumstances:
If one party does not agree to the terms of the divorce If one party does not agree to the terms of the divorce a judge will ultimately have to decide. Most times, mediation is helpful to work out differences and the court will make the parties attend mediation.
If assets and debts need to be divided We will help negotiate how assets and debts are divided. There are creative ways to divide marital assets and debts.
If parties do not agree regarding alimony/spousal support Alimony is determined by Florida Statutes. If at mediation the parties cannot agree, then a judge will have to determine if alimony is appropriate after considering all of the factors set forth in the statute.
If parties may not agree on parental responsibility, co-parenting and a timesharing schedule If you are not successful resolving the issues of related to the children at mediation, then the court will decide. The court will look at what is in the best interest of the children when making its decision and that is when our experienced family law attorney will assist you in court.
If parties do not agree to child support Child support is calculated by the income of the parties, the number of overnights each parent has and the cost of daycare/aftercare and health insurance. If the parties do not agree at mediation, the court will run child support guidelines and order one party to make payments to the other party if appropriate.
If there’s domestic violence involved Domestic violence is usually handled outside of a divorce case. If you need an injunction against your spouse because of domestic violence, our attorney can assist you. The court may enter a temporary injunction and schedule a hearing to determine if the temporary injunction should be extended.
If one or more of the children has special needs If one of your children has special needs, the court can make a determination that child support should continue past the child turning 18.
If one or more of the parties is receiving disability income or benefits All income is used in determining child support and/or spousal support. While some benefits may not be subject to division, the income will be used to determine support.
If one or more of the parties is self employed income, it may be necessary to hire an accountant. Self-employment can be challenging and difficult when determining a person’s income.
If one or more of the parties desires to relocate with the children If the parties agree, relocation can be included in a settlement agreement. If the parties do not agree, the person seeking to relocate out of the state with minor children must file a petition to relocate. The court will decide if relocation is in the best interest of the children.
If you’re seeking retroactive spousal or child support The parties can agree to retroactive support. If an agreement cannot be reached, the court can award retroactive child support and/or alimony going back two years. The same formulas explained above will be used to determine the amount.
If you’re seeking enforcement of an existing Court Order If an order has already been entered and one party is not following the order, then you can file a motion for contempt and/or enforcement. The party that is not following the order can be held in contempt. Depending on the nature of the noncompliance, the court was wide latitude in sanctioning the non-compliant party including payment of attorney’s fees and costs.
If you want to obtain an Income Withholding Order An income withholding order is used for child support and/or alimony. Instead of the party who is ordered to pay paying the other party directly, the money is taken directly out of a person’s paycheck and sent through the State Disbursement Unit. Our attorney will prepare an Income Withholding Order if you want one.
If you want to properly calculate child support Our staff will run child support guidelines. The formula is set forth in Florida Statutes and is determined by the income of the parties the number of overnights each parent has and the cost of daycare/aftercare and health insurance.

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.

ByMelissaD

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.

ADC Attorney Representation in Florida “FAQ”

I have been served with divorce papers. What do I do?

It is strongly advised to hire an attorney as soon as you’ve been served and as early as possible, so that your attorney has adequate time within those 20 days to file an Answer. Most people hire a lawyer to represent them in the immediate days after getting served, and it is advised to do so as early as possible so that the attorney has adequate time to file the Answer.

Is there a residency requirement?

Yes, one of the parties must be a Florida resident for at least 6 months prior to the filing of your Petition.

I need help with bills and child support now. 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.

Child Support - who pays and how much?

Child support is calculated based upon each party’s net incomes and the number of overnights each parent has with the child or children. It is advisable to have an attorney run the child support calculations to make sure you are paying or receiving the fair and accurate amount of support.

Does 50/50 time sharing mean that I don’t receive or pay any child support?

No, not necessarily. Again, it depends on each party’s incomes. If you and your spouse have equal incomes, then neither party would be responsible to pay child support. However, if one party makes significantly more income, then that party would have to pay child support.

Can child support be waived?

No, in Florida, child support is considered the property of the child and not the parents, therefore, it cannot be waived.

Can I get sole custody?

Sole custody is no longer recognized the the State of Florida, however, you can ask for a majority of the timesharing with the child.

Can I relocate out of state with my children?

You should immediately consult with a reputable Florida attorney specializing in family law prior to removing your children from the state as there are significant legal requirements and deadlines that must be met. Otherwise, you could face serious criminal charges if you remove your children without going through the proper legal steps.

Do I have to pay alimony?

Alimony is determined by a number of factors, such as the need for it by one party and the ability to pay by the other. Generally, the longer the marriage, the more likely alimony will have to be paid, especially if there is a substantial disparity in the spouse’s incomes. Florida alimony laws are likely to be revised in the near future, so it’s important to seek the advice of an experienced family law attorney to determine if your alimony status.

What assets and debts are considered marital?

Generally, assets and liabilities that are acquired during the marriage are considered marital in nature. Premarital assets can also be considered marital if the other spouse is added to the title after the marriage.

I just found out that my spouse was having an affair and spending lots of money on him/her. Am I entitled to any relief?

If your spouse was spending marital money on his/her lover, 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 lover.
