About

Provided by Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, P.A.

The marital and family legal challenges facing individuals, families and their financial interests are unique. These personal matters require the same degree of sophisticated analysis as business matters. We focus on representing high-income, significant-net-worth clients in all facets of marital and family law. We provide individualized representation to the particular needs of each client by providing a thorough and straightforward analysis of their entitlements and obligations, and by being responsive to their specific goals. 

We offer experienced counsel in negotiating and drafting prenuptial, postnuptial, and marital settlement agreements, as well as handling complex divorces (division of property, equitable distribution including valuation and support issues), paternity matters and disputes which cross state and international borders. 

Our Marital & Family law group is focused on achieving results through alternative dispute resolution techniques including direct negotiation, mediation, and when necessary, in court. We have the resources, including the in-house knowledge of various specialized practice groups within the Firm to guide clients through these multifaceted matters. While resolution of family disputes is preferred, when court intervention is indicated, we have experienced trial lawyers to advocate on behalf of our clients.
