Child Custody and Visitation
Florida has recently revamped its child custody laws, moving away from the traditional idea of primary residential custody. The 2008 revisions to the law emphasize a friendlier approach to child custody and timesharing, with both parties creating a parenting plan that promotes everybody's interests.
Adoption
Paternity
We want to ensure that you spend quality time with your children and their best interests are a top priority. Family law courts provide us various models of parental time-sharing schedules in divorce and paternity matters. Those merely serve as a template for the courts to use and are not mandated by law. Your situation may require a very specific visitation arrangement based on unique circumstances.
Premarital Agreement
When individuals come to a marriage with significant assets, they can save money, time and strife later on by establishing a premarital agreement. Premarital agreements, also known as prenuptial agreements or antenuptial agreements, may not seem romantic, but a "prenup" can represent one of the best decisions a couple makes before entering a marriage. Although prenuptial agreements are well known, a couple can also enter into a legally binding marital agreement with the above-listed advantages at any time during a marriage. Such agreements are known as "postnuptial agreements" and serve much the same purpose as prenuptial agreements. Contact us online or call us at
Guardianship
In Florida there are 2 primary forms of probate proceedings, summary and formal. Although both forms do have some similarities there are differences that you will need to be aware of. Let the attorneys at the Law Office of Kathleen A. DeChristopher, Esq., P.A. help you in determining which is right for you. We represent clients in Lee, Collier and Charlotte county in probate administration and guardianship proceedings. Please contact us online or call us at
Spousal Support
Before a court can decide if you or your divorcing spouse is eligible for alimony, it must first determine each spouse's gross income, among other factors. At the Law Office of Kathleen A. DeChristopher, Esq., P.A., we utilize experts who can determine the true financial circumstances of a spouse. This can help a court determine the income amounts it will use in making the alimony award. Courts tend to have wide discretion when making spousal support judgments. By retaining the Law Office of Kathleen A. DeChristopher, Esq., P.A., you can establish the financial facts and provide persuasive testimony based on the factors of Florida spousal support.
Child Abuse
The capacity and disposition of each parent to protect the child from the ongoing litigation as demonstrated by not discussing the litigation with the child, not sharing documents or electronic media related to the litigation with the child, and refraining from disparaging comments about the other parent to the child

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning is simply the process of getting your affairs in order so that you make things easier for your surviving family members when the time comes. It doesn't have to be difficult, expensive, or depressing. All you need to do is take a few simple steps: take a look at what you own, make a will and a few other documents, and review the beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts. For the vast majority of Americans, there's no need to worry about estate taxes or fancy trusts.
Wills
Both Wills and Trusts are devices which you can use to provide for the distribution of your estate upon your death. Deciding whether a Will or a Trust best fits your needs depends on your circumstances. A living Trust is a popular alternative to the traditional Will, but you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each before deciding on one form or the other. Speak with an experienced attorney at the Law Office of Kathleen A. DeChristopher, Esq., P.A. before you decide. Please call
Trusts
A Will comes into play only after you die, but a living trust can actually start benefitting you while you are still alive. A living trust is a trust established during your lifetime. It is revocable, which allows for you to make changes. You will transfer substantially all of your property into your living trust during your lifetime, and any omitted assets can be transferred into the trust at the time of death through the use of a simple Pour-over Will. You should always make a Pour-over Will at the time that you establish your trust.
