Divorce
A divorce can be a financially draining and emotionally taxing experience. It is important to have a divorce attorney who keeps your best interests at heart. We will work with you to address all issues related to your case including property division, spousal support, alimony, and more. We will answer your questions and educate you about your legal rights and responsibilities.
Custody & Visitation
Child custody and establishing visitation rights can be an overwhelming experience and emotional ordeal. Our attorneys know you want what is best for your children, and will work with you to develop a parenting plan that meets both you and your child’s needs. We are dedicated to helping you realistically and sensitively work out the details of sharing time with your children.
Child & Spousal Support
After a divorce, alimony and child support agreements are designed to assist the individual earning less to maintain the standard of living as it was before separation/divorce. Your attorney will take the time to examine both parties’ incomes and expenses, and work diligently to protect your interests and make sure you get a fair result.
Division of Marital Assets & Debts
Dividing marital property and debt is an important part of the divorce process. Together with you, we will work to make sure you are treated fairly and receive an equitable distribution of the marital estate. We take a number of considerations into mind when working to divide marital assets and debts, including the financial situation of both parties, how long the marriage lasted, and more.
Modification of Support & Custody
Our team provides each client with skilled and compassionate representation and will work to help you solve complex custody matters. Whether you are trying to move with your child or object to your child moving, our attorneys will help you weigh in on the decision and come to an agreement that fits both you and your child’s needs. Our goal is to make sure your rights are fully protected.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is an agreement signed before marriage to determine which who gets what in the event of a divorce. A premarital agreement becomes effective once the parties are married. This type of agreement is important for clients with extensive assets. With a prenuptial agreement, Florida State law will not automatically dictate what happens in the event a couple gets divorced.
Adoption
Looking to expand your family through adoption services? Our law firm works to minimize the stress and complications involved with adoptions. We take a proactive approach to our services, and are dedicated to protecting your child, but also your rights, through every part of the process. We can help facilitate all forms of adoption including stepparent adoptions, international adoptions, relative or grandparent adoptions, and domestic adoptions.
Minor Guardianships
For some individuals or families, pursuing guardianship is an alternative to adoption. Guardianship allows an adult to care and make a decision regarding a child’s welfare. This may be an appropriate option if a parent becomes ill, is incapacitated or leaves the home. Guardianship of a minor can be limited to a specific amount of time, and unlike an adoption, a parent can appoint an individual to make legal decisions for their child without losing their parental rights.
Elder Guardianships
Unless a court determines otherwise, an adult is assumed to be capable of making his or her own decisions. If an individual is unable to make important decisions due to a mental disability or medical condition, a legal guardian will be appointed to help take care of their affairs. A legal guardian can make financial, legal, and healthcare decisions for the ward. We will work with you or your relative to ensure their well being and act in their best interests.
Juvenile Matters
If your child or someone close to you is charged with a juvenile crime, it is crucial to work with an attorney experienced in juvenile defense. Due to their age, children are some of the most vulnerable defendants. Many juveniles who end up in the justice system are victims of abuse and are disproportionately minorities who are charged with harsher sentences in adjudication and delinquencies.
Abuse, Neglect & Abandonment
If someone you know has been a victim of abuse, neglect or abandonment, we here to provide the representation they deserve. We represent clients of all ages in abuse, neglect and abandonment cases. Our attorneys provide compassionate, dedicated legal services.
Termination of Parental Rights
As the parent of a child, couples have certain rights, including making decisions affecting the health and welfare of the child, right to spend time with their child, and who can see their child. There are many grounds for parental rights to be terminated including threatening the wellbeing of the child, abandonment, incarceration, adoption, and more. If your rights as a parent are in jeopardy, call our law office today. We will provide you with the representation you deserve. Our goal is to protect your rights and ensure the best possible outcome for your child.
Mediation
A legal mediator serves as a neutral third party to help both parties reach a mutual agreement on unresolved issues. We take an innovative approach to meeting our clients' needs and work with your mediator to make sure they are aware of relevant issues. Mediation can help both parties achieve more satisfactory results in their divorce case.
PERSONAL INJURY
The staff of Mildner & Associates, P.A., has over 30 years of experience in the area of personal injury claims. Our coverage spans from dog bites to wrongful death suits. Provided is a brief overview of a few categories that constitute personal injury:
Slip and Fall
This type of personal injury case arises when a client experiencing an injury as a result of hazardous or dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. These types of accident can happen on public, commercial, or residential property. It doesn’t matter where the injury occurs, all building or property owners have a level of responsibility to make sure the environment is safe for visitors.
Automobile Accidents and Injuries
The National Highway Safety Administration estimates an auto accident occurs every 10 seconds. A variety of factors play into how and why these accidents occur. Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, you have a civic duty to drive and act with care. If you have been the victim of someone else’s carelessness, you deserve representation from an experienced legal team. Choose Mildner & Associates today.
Wrongful Death
It can be a heartbreaking ordeal to lose someone due to another’s negligence. A wrongful death suit is one way to seek justice and obtain closure.
