Florida Panhandle Law Firm
Our law firm knows family law. At the Pensacola law office of Meador & Vigodsky, we have experience handling a broad range of your family law concerns. With extensive knowledge of Florida family law, attorneys at Meador & Vigodsky can talk with you about your situation and advise you on the law.
- Divorce: Our attorneys handle both contested and uncontested divorces. Working with accountants and appraisers, we have the capability to handle cases involving complex property division issues. Our attorneys also help educate families about how Florida law applies to other issues, like child custody or alimony.
- Child custody and visitation: As experienced family law attorneys, we know how important your children are and have thorough knowledge of how Florida law assesses their interests.
- Child support: Parents often have questions about Florida child support guidelines. We can work with you to help you understand Florida child support laws.
- Alimony (spousal support): Several alimony options are available to couples, depending on their circumstances. Our lawyers can help you determine the best fit for your needs.
- Modifications: When circumstances change, your child support or child custody needs may change. It is often necessary to make child support or child custody modifications. We can take action to help accomplish your changing goals.
- Paternity: Determination of paternity can have significant financial and emotional impact on families. If you have questions about Florida paternity law, our knowledgeable attorneys can provide answers.
- Relocation: Florida laws have changed recently and many divorced parents are required to give notice when they intend to move outside of Florida. We help families relocate to other states while still complying with Florida law. Our attorneys also assist parents who have concerns about their ex-spouse's move outside the state.
- Domestic violence: When couples experience domestic violence-related problems, a court ordered domestic violence injunction may be a solution. To speak with an attorney about your situation, contact Meador & Vigodsky.
Family Law Lawyers: Encouraging Settlement, Preparing for Litigation
In family law cases, especially cases involving children, issues can become emotional and family fighting can have a serious impact on the family's youngest members. At Meador & Vigodsky, we often encourage mediated settlement in situations like these. Mediated settlement works by placing families in situations where they can reach agreements based on their common concerns, even when the arguments are heated and emotionally charged. Agreeing on issues such as child custody can reduce the impact of divorce-related arguments on children.
At the same time we help clients work toward settlement, we prepare for litigation. We are always ready to protect our clients' rights and will not hesitate to go to trial. Craig and Ann are experienced trial attorneys with a good representation for trial advocacy. They know how to present your case in the best possible light, advocating strongly for you to help you get the legal result you deserve.
Our skilled attorneys know criminal defense. Lawyer Craig Vigodsky is a former prosecutor from the State Attorney's office. He prosecuted cases including DUIs, domestic violence Injunctions matters, felonies, misdemeanors, and juvenile cases. This experience gave him a strong foundation in criminal law that benefits his work as a defense attorney.
