Treasure Coast Legal

You built a life here on the Treasure Coast. A home. A family. A future. Now you're facing a divorce, a custody dispute, or a question about support, and suddenly everything feels uncertain.

Will you lose time with your children? How will your assets be divided? Does Florida favor mothers in custody cases? What happened to permanent alimony? If you're an unmarried father, do you even have rights?

Here's what most people don't realize: Florida law changed significantly in 2023. Permanent alimony is gone. Courts use 20 factors to determine custody with no preference for either parent. And an unmarried father has no legal parental rights until paternity is formally established, no matter what the birth certificate says.

The outcome of your case depends on which courthouse handles it, which laws apply, and whether your attorney knows the local judges and procedures well enough to use that knowledge strategically.

At Treasure Coast Legal, local matters. We regularly appear in the courthouses across Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties. We know the 19th Judicial Circuit. And we know that the decisions made in family court affect where your children live, what you pay or receive in support, and how the life you built gets divided.

If you're facing a family law matter on the Treasure Coast, understand your rights before you make decisions that can't be undone.
