Settlement Agreements

There are too many cases filed in Florida for a judge to hear them all. Also, it’s rarely in your best interests to allow a stranger (the judge) to decide how you and your family should share your children and divide your property. It is almost always best for the parties to settle their case themselves, with the help of skilled divorce attorneys.

The careful negotiation and preparation of settlement agreements is crucial to protecting your rights. It is fine to communicate and negotiate terms of a potential settlement with your spouse or parent to your child, but do not sign a settlement agreement until you both have had the opportunity to have it reviewed by an experienced family law attorney.
