Divorce

Getting divorced is another story. It’s not much fun and not nearly so easy to “undo” a marriage. Property, possessions, and investments are legally tangled.

Alimony

Alimony is the least predictable aspect of divorce. Judges have wide latitude in determining whether financial support is merited in your case. Even with 20 years of experience

Issues involving Children

Couples in divorce can choose mediation as a means of settling all the critical issues involved and maintain control over the outcome.

Property Division

In any divorce, marital property division is a major source of contention. But it is not always necessary (or advisable) to go to trial to get your fair share.

Modification & Enforcement

Either party can move to have child support increased, decreased, or terminated. The court requires a “substantial change in circumstances.” It must be material (financial) and permanent..

Prenuptial Agreement

Board Certified Marital and Family Law Specialist

It is always a bonus to work with a board certified attorney on your case. Curtis R. Cowan is a certified attorney and works hand in hand on your case.

It’s an unfortunate truth that nearly 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. If you find yourself on the wrong side of that statistic, you may be struggling with a range of emotions and some difficult choices. Because those decisions will affect you for many years to come, a divorce should not be taken lightly, nor guided by anger or impulse.

You should discuss these issues with a divorce and family attorney who can help you explore all the possible ramifications — for you and your children, for your mental well-being as well as your financial interests.

My Fort Lauderdale law practice is committed to amicable, comprehensive resolutions of all marital and family law matters:

Dissolution of marriage

Dividing marital assets and debts

Child custody and parenting agreements

Child support and alimony

Post-decree modifications

Paternity issues

Keeping Matters in Your Own Hands

Getting married and having kids is easy. Getting divorced — splitting assets and “dividing” children — is another story. It can quickly get bitter and costly, but there are ways to make the process less painful and the outcome more agreeable. My practice is based on the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence — an interdisciplinary approach that considers not only the legal and financial aspects of divorce or custody, but also the emotional and psychological impact on all participants. Through mediation and negotiation, we help clients reach fair, reasonable settlements out of court whenever possible. If a legal fight is unavoidable, we will vigorously protect your interests while working to limit the negative and unintended consequences of court-imposed solutions.
