Our Family Law Services

Divorce

Divorce is a significant life transition, and our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, we will work diligently to protect your interests and ensure a fair resolution regarding property division, spousal support, and child-related matters.

Child Custody & Visitation
When children are involved, custody and visitation agreements are among the most important legal matters to resolve. We advocate for arrangements that prioritize the best interests of your children while ensuring that your parental rights are upheld. Our firm handles sole and joint custody cases, modifications, and enforcement of existing custody agreements.
Child Support
Child support plays a crucial role in ensuring a child’s financial stability. We assist parents in establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support agreements, ensuring that financial obligations are fairly distributed based on the needs of the child and the financial circumstances of both parents.
Alimony (Spousal Support)
Alimony can be a critical component of a divorce settlement, particularly if one spouse has been financially dependent on the other. Whether you are seeking spousal support or contesting an unfair demand, we provide strong representation to achieve a fair arrangement.
Property Division
Dividing assets and debts during a divorce can be complex. We help clients navigate equitable distribution laws to ensure fair asset division, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and other property.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide financial clarity and security for both spouses. Whether you’re planning for marriage or already married and want to define financial expectations, we draft enforceable agreements that protect your interests.
Domestic Violence & Restraining Orders
If you are facing domestic violence, Kearney Law can help you obtain the necessary legal protections, such as restraining orders and emergency protective orders. We also provide legal defense for individuals facing allegations of domestic violence.
Modifications & Enforcement
Life circumstances change, and existing family law agreements may need to be adjusted. We help clients modify child custody, support, and alimony arrangements and ensure that court orders are properly enforced.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The timeline for a divorce depends on various factors, including whether it is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce can be finalized in a few months, while a contested divorce may take longer due to negotiations and court proceedings.

Florida courts prioritize the child’s best interests when determining custody. Factors include parental involvement, the child’s preferences (if age-appropriate), stability, and any history of domestic violence or substance abuse.

Yes. If there is a significant change in financial circumstances (e.g., job loss, increased expenses, or a change in the child’s needs), child support orders can be modified through the court.
Alimony is based on several factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial situation, contributions to the marriage, and earning capacity. The court decides on the type, amount, and duration of alimony based on these considerations.
While not legally required, having an attorney ensures that your prenuptial agreement is properly drafted and enforceable in court. A lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure the agreement meets legal standards.
If the other parent is not complying with a court order, legal enforcement actions can be taken. This may include wage garnishment for unpaid support, contempt of court proceedings, or modifications to the custody agreement.
If you are a victim of domestic violence or feel threatened, you can file for a protective order (restraining order) in court. Our firm can guide you through the process and ensure you have the necessary legal protections in place.
