I cannot thank Mr. Greenberg and his team enough for their guidance and support throughout my divorce. From our first meeting, he was honest, compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly had my best interests at heart. He explained every step clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and fought hard to make sure I received a fair outcome. What stood out the most was their professionalism combined with genuine empathy, which made a difficult time much easier to get through. I highly recommend Mr. Greenberg and his team to anyone in need of a skilled and caring divorce attorney. Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced, but without a doubt having Mr. Greenberg by my side made all the difference in the world of the outcome! He was not just my attorney he was also a steady source of support and reassurance when I felt overwhelmed. I always felt heard, understood, and truly cared for. Their kindness, patience, and dedication gave me the confidence to move forward and rebuild my life. I will always be grateful for the compassion and strength he showed me during such a difficult time. He really did his thing and we came out onto top!

I am not usually one to write reviews, but Mr. Greenberg truly helped me and my family. While many people only highlight a lawyer’s success in winning a case—which is, of course, important—what stood out to me was his integrity and genuine support during a difficult time. In an environment where it’s easy to feel taken advantage of or promised unrealistic results, Mr. Greenberg took the time to guide me with honesty and care. He even went above and beyond by introducing me to a colleague, who reached out to me immediately after receiving his email. I am genuinely impressed by his professionalism and kindness. Though I rarely leave reviews, he truly deserves five stars and my family’s deepest gratitude.

Latest Florida Legal Answers
1
Do I Have to Leave the House in a Divorce?
No. You do not automatically have to leave the marital home when a divorce begins. Ownership, safety concerns, temporary court orders, children, and the circumstances of the case can affect who remains in the home.
2
Can My Spouse Take the Kids Out of State Without My Permission?
Not necessarily. Parenting plans, court orders, relocation rules, and the circumstances of the proposed travel can affect whether a parent may take a child out of Florida.
3
What Assets Are Considered Marital Property in Florida?
Marital property generally includes assets and liabilities acquired during the marriage, subject to Florida’s classification rules and exceptions for qualifying nonmarital property.
4
How Is Alimony Determined in Florida?
Florida courts consider statutory factors when determining alimony, including the parties’ needs and financial circumstances and the factors applicable to the type and duration of support requested.
5
How Long Does a Divorce Take in Florida?
The timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested, the complexity of financial and parenting issues, discovery, negotiations, court scheduling, and whether the parties reach an agreement.
6
What Is a Parenting Plan in Florida?
A parenting plan establishes how parents will share responsibilities for their children and addresses issues such as time-sharing, decision-making, communication, and other parenting arrangements.
7
Can I Modify Child Support in Florida?
Potentially. Florida child support may be modified when the legal requirements for modification are satisfied, such as certain substantial changes in circumstances.
8
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
Florida does not require every divorcing spouse to hire an attorney, but legal advice can help identify financial, parenting, property, support, and settlement issues before an agreement becomes final.
9
What Is a Collaborative Divorce?
Collaborative divorce is a structured process in which the parties and their professionals work toward resolving divorce issues without traditional contested litigation, subject to the requirements of the collaborative process.
10
How Are Retirement Accounts Divided in Divorce?
Retirement benefits accrued during marriage can be marital assets. The marital portion must be identified, and certain employer-sponsored plans may require a qualified domestic relations order or another plan-specific procedure.
11
What Is a Durable Power of Attorney?
A durable power of attorney allows another person to exercise the authority granted in the document on your behalf and can remain effective if you later become incapacitated when Florida’s legal requirements are satisfied.
12
What Is a Revocable Living Trust?
A revocable living trust is an estate-planning arrangement that can hold and manage assets during your lifetime and direct how trust property is handled after death.
13
Do I Need a Will If I Have a Living Trust?
Often, yes. A trust generally controls only property properly transferred to it. A will can address assets outside the trust and perform other important estate-planning functions.
14
What Happens If I Die Without a Will in Florida?
When a Florida resident dies without a valid will, property subject to probate is generally distributed according to Florida’s intestate succession laws rather than according to unwritten wishes.
15
Can Grandparents Get Visitation Rights in Florida?
Florida grandparent-visitation rights are limited and depend on specific statutory circumstances. A grandparent does not automatically receive visitation simply because it may benefit the family.
16
What Is a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?
These are written agreements that can address financial rights, property, liabilities, support, and other legally permitted issues before or during marriage, subject to Florida law.
17
How Is Business Ownership Handled in Divorce?
A business interest may contain marital and nonmarital components. Classification, valuation, appreciation, compensation, ownership history, and each spouse’s contributions can become important.
18
What Is Time-Sharing in Florida?
Time-sharing refers to the schedule governing when a child spends time with each parent under a parenting plan or court order. The child’s best interests guide Florida parenting determinations.
19
Can I Get Emergency Custody of My Child?
Emergency court relief may be available in appropriate circumstances involving immediate risks to a child, but the facts and legal requirements must support emergency intervention.
20
How Do I Start My Estate Plan?
Start by identifying your family, assets, beneficiaries, decision-makers, incapacity concerns, and goals. An estate-planning attorney can then help determine which documents fit those objectives.
