"Florida Equitable Distribution Attorneys Protecting your rights!"
Establishing a fair marital distribution can be one of the most complicated and costly aspects in any divorce. The concept itself is rather simple— to take the sum of your marital asset and liabilities, then divide them equally between both parties—but in many cases, particularly those involving substantial assets, family businesses, inherited assets, second marriages, and other complications, equitable distribution is anything but simple to carry out. The process requires a careful attention to detail in first determining which assets and/or debts are marital, and then thoroughly accounting for and valuing those assets in order to divide them equally.
Although reaching a settlement agreement with your spouse can be an enormous cost favor, an experienced family law attorney will help ensure that everything is handled properly and fairly, and that your rights are protected. In cases where marital settlements cannot be reached between both parties, a court must decide on how to divide your property. Florida statistical reports show that property division has requested more court hearing time than any other family law issue. Whether you and your spouse are in agreement about your property division, or plan to let a court decide, having an experienced Florida divorce attorney will ensure that your rights are protected in court or during mediation and that a fair property settlement is reached. At the Law Offices of Sharp & Barnes, P.A., in Clearwater, Florida, we have a background in civil and family litigation as well as extensive experience representing fathers and husbands in divorce cases, drafting marital agreements and handling divorce and property settlements.

"Florida Father's Rights Attorneys Committed to Helping You!"
There’s little doubt that the best parent is both parents. But sometimes the emotional turmoil that parents endure at the end of a marriage can lead to bitter child custody arguments. For fathers, having an attorney who believes your child’s best interest isn’t just a benefit, but is absolutely critical for reaching an agreement that puts children in the care of both parents. In Florida, custody issues are resolved under the standard of "in the best interests of the child". However, determining which parent serves the best interest of their child is a challenging process. The staff at ‘Fathers Law’ has earned a reputation for being fierce defenders of such values, representing clients to the fullest degree in order to resolve custody matters amicably—never forgetting that a child’s future requires careful attention.
Visitation is another important right designed for non-custodial parents. Since you will be the father of your children forever, you have a right to be in their lives, and they have a right to see you even if you were never married to their mother! But under Florida fathers' laws, a father is not automatically entitled to these rights unless paternity is first established. However, these can be given to the father through a paternity agreement or court paternity action. If paternity is established, the father will have legal father rights, including the right to: Seek a court order for visitation rights, including the right to:
- Seek a court order for visitation rights
- Request a change or modification in custody
- Request child support if he has custody of the child
- Assist in important legal decisions regarding the child
At the Law Offices of Sharp & Barnes, we are very skilled at representing individuals in paternity actions. Fathers’ Law is our cause, and it’s what we do best!

"Florida Alimony Attorneys Committed to Helping You!"
