Learn more below about our main areas of practice, and contact our office to discuss your matter with a skilled and experienced Miami family law attorney.
Divorce
Divorce is never easy, but our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you are facing a high net worth divorce with complex asset division or an uncontested divorce where both parties agree on the terms, or anything in between, we have the expertise to handle your case with the utmost care and professionalism. Firm founder and lead attorney Daniel Umbert has many years of experience handling child support enforcement matters in Miami-Dade and Broward County, making us particularly adept at handling difficult cases involving disputes over child custody or support.
Paternity
Establishing paternity is essential for determining parental rights and responsibilities. Whether you are seeking to establish or contest paternity, our attorneys provide knowledgeable guidance throughout the legal process. On the other hand, disestablishment of paternity in Florida involves a legal process where the petitioner must present new evidence, in addition to genetic testing, and meet specific statutory requirements while ensuring that the best interests of the child are considered. The process can lead to the termination of future child support obligations if the petition is granted. Daniel Umbert’s years of practice in child support enforcement give him a unique perspective regarding the intersection between paternity proceedings, timesharing, and child support orders.
Domestic Violence
Victims of domestic violence need immediate protection and support. Our firm is committed to helping you obtain restraining orders and other legal protections to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. Domestic violence allegations can also have a significant impact on issues in a divorce or child custody dispute. We represent parties on both sides of domestic violence matters to ensure family members are protected while looking out for the rights of the accused.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind by clearly outlining the financial arrangements in the event of a divorce, but they must be carefully drafted and follow several steps to ensure they are valid, enforceable, and fulfill the desires of the parties. We assist couples in drafting and reviewing prenuptial or postnuptial agreements to protect their interests and ensure mutual understanding.
Parental Alienation
Parental alienation can have devastating effects on both the child and the targeted parent. Our attorneys work diligently to address these issues, advocating for fair custody arrangements and the restoration of healthy parent-child relationships.
Grandparents’ Rights
Grandparents play a vital role in the lives of their grandchildren, but after a divorce, separation, or even the death of a parent, grandparents’ access to their grandkids might get cut off. Florida law defers to the authority of parents in most instances, but when access to grandchildren is unfairly restricted, we fight for grandparents’ rights to maintain meaningful relationships with their grandchildren.
Termination of Parental Rights
In cases where a parent or the state seeks to terminate a parent’s rights for the safety and welfare of a child, we provide the necessary legal support and representation to ensure fairness and work to maintain or reunify families as soon as appropriate. These cases require a delicate balance of legal acumen and sensitivity, which you will find at True North Law, P.A.
