We offer legal services in the following St. Petersburg Family Law practice areas:

Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce can be one of the most challenging and emotionally taxing experiences in a person’s life. Whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, our attorneys will work tirelessly to guide you through the process, ensuring that your rights and interests are fully protected. At Lopez Law Group, we assist clients in navigating every aspect of divorce, including:

• Asset Division: Our team works to ensure a fair division of assets, including real property, retirement accounts, and business interests. We understand the financial complexities involved and strive to reach a resolution that is equitable.
• Alimony (Spousal Support): We help negotiate or litigate alimony arrangements based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial standing of both parties, and other key considerations.
• Debt Division: Just as assets need to be divided, so do debts. We help clients determine a fair allocation of marital debts.
  Whether you are seeking an uncontested divorce or need aggressive representation in a contested divorce, our St. Petersburg family law lawyers are here to ensure you receive fair treatment and secure a favorable outcome.

Child Custody and Visitation

When parents separate, one of the most crucial matters to resolve is the custody and visitation of children. Our family law attorneys provide the support and legal expertise needed to help you achieve a child custody arrangement that serves the best interests of your child, while also protecting your rights as a parent. Our services include:

• Child Custody: We work with you to develop a custody plan that ensures your child’s physical and emotional well-being is prioritized, while taking into account your wishes as a parent.
• Parenting Plans: Our attorneys help create clear and effective parenting plans that set out detailed schedules for visitation, holidays, and other important family events.
• Child Support: We advocate for fair child support arrangements based on the financial needs of the child and the financial ability of the parents.
• Modification of Custody and Visitation Orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, our attorneys can help you modify existing custody or visitation orders to better suit your needs.
  We understand that custody disputes can be particularly difficult, and we work diligently to minimize the emotional toll on both you and your child. Our goal is to ensure that your child’s best interests are always at the forefront of any decisions.

Child and Spousal Support

Whether you are seeking to establish, modify, or enforce child or spousal support, our team of experienced family law lawyers is ready to provide you with expert guidance. Florida courts determine support based on a variety of factors, and we can help you understand how those factors apply to your situation. Our services include:

• Child Support: We ensure that your child’s needs are met by advocating for a fair support arrangement that reflects the child’s needs and the paying parent’s financial ability.
• Spousal Support (Alimony): Our attorneys handle complex alimony issues, including the determination of whether alimony is appropriate, the amount, and the duration of payments.
• Modification and Enforcement of Support Orders: We help clients modify support orders if there has been a change in circumstances, and we also assist with enforcement when support orders are not being followed.

Whether you are seeking to receive support or you need to modify or enforce an existing support order, we are committed to helping you secure a fair and equitable result.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Planning for the future can provide peace of mind in the event of life’s uncertainties. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal tools that protect both parties’ financial interests in the event of divorce or separation. At Lopez Law Group, we assist clients in drafting and negotiating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that clearly define the division of assets, debts, and other important financial matters.

• Prenuptial Agreements: These agreements are created before marriage to protect assets and outline financial expectations in the event of a divorce.
• Postnuptial Agreements: These are created after marriage and allow couples to set forth terms regarding asset division, financial obligations, and other key matters.

Our attorneys will work with you to create an agreement that is clear, fair, and enforceable under Florida law, helping to protect your future financial well-being.

Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

If you are in a situation where you or your loved ones are in danger due to domestic violence, Lopez Law Group can help. Our family law attorneys are skilled in obtaining temporary and permanent restraining orders (also known as injunctions for protection) to protect you from abuse.

• Domestic Violence Injunctions: Our attorneys help clients obtain legal protection from their abusers, ensuring that the necessary orders are in place to keep you and your family safe.
• Assistance with Law Enforcement and the Court System: We assist in coordinating with local law enforcement to ensure the protection order is enforced and that you have a clear plan of action.
• Family Law Issues Related to Domestic Violence: Domestic violence may impact other family law matters, including custody and divorce proceedings. We provide comprehensive legal guidance in these sensitive situations.

If you are in immediate danger, we strongly advise you to contact authorities and then consult with a lawyer to explore your legal options.

Adoption and Surrogacy

At Lopez Law Group, we offer legal services for families looking to adopt or go through a surrogacy process. Building a family through adoption or surrogacy is an incredibly rewarding experience, and we help make the legal side of the process as smooth as possible.

• Adoption: Whether you are adopting a child domestically or internationally, our team can guide you through the complex legal requirements and paperwork, ensuring that all steps are taken correctly and efficiently.
• Surrogacy: If you are pursuing a surrogacy arrangement, our family law attorneys will help you navigate the legalities involved, including surrogacy contracts, parental rights, and other necessary legal considerations.
