McKinnon Legal has been in operation since 2004, and focuses principally on family law, including child support and child custody, as well as other aspects of family practice law, like divorce, mediation, and complex marital property division and asset law , which can be particularly complex if one or both spouses owns a business, particularly if that business was started during the duration of the marriage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7I9p7wZiY).
Many married couples considering hiring a divorce lawyer go into their initial consultation unsure of what to expect, particularly when it comes to arranging or even discussing matters like child support payments and child support obligations, as well as arranging for child custody, including during and after divorce proceedings have finalized. Equitable property distribution taking into account respective incomes, travel costs, parental responsibility and other various aspects of child support and custody can be particularly confusing to navigate by oneself. This is why nearly all individuals seeking separation from a spouse hire a divorce attorney for child support and custody issues. Child support laws can be particularly tricky to understand, and an experienced attorney can make a significant difference in understanding the laws governing the separation, and making the division as fair and equitable as possible.
"Florida is an equitable distribution state," said a spokesperson for McKinnon Legal, "and judges just divide marital property and debts fairly." this can mean a 50-50 split, but that is not always the case. Particularly when divorces involve complex property, the division will often slightly favor one spouse over the other. Generally, judges must consider several factors, particularly pursuant to Florida Statute ยง61.075, which can include what each party contributed to acquiring during the marriage as well as the length of the marriage and each party's economic circumstances, as well as their need to retain a home as a residence for any children of the marriage.
Other factors like retirement plans, stock options, real estate holdings, as well as business interests and other appreciable assets can also make Equitable division of property quite difficult, particularly because many of these benefits, like retirement benefits and stock options as well as real estate value, can increase over time. This can be particularly difficult for high-income parents, which is why attorney consultations are paramount.
