Plantation Family Lawyer
Guiding Families Through Life’s Legal Challenges
Family law matters touch the most important parts of our lives—our children, our homes, our finances, and our personal relationships. Whether you’re facing a divorce, a custody dispute, or seeking legal guidance on adoption, support, or domestic issues, the right attorney can make all the difference. At Haber Blank, LLP, we offer experienced, compassionate representation for individuals and families in Plantation, Florida. As your Plantation family lawyer, we are here to help you navigate difficult decisions with clarity, confidence, and legal strength.
Divorce and Separation
Ending a marriage is never easy, but with proper legal support, the process can be less overwhelming and more manageable. Whether your divorce is amicable or highly contested, we assist with every legal aspect, including the division of assets, spousal support, child custody, and time-sharing. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means marital property must be divided fairly—not necessarily equally. We help you understand your rights, negotiate effectively, and advocate for your best interests in court when needed.
Uncontested divorces can often be resolved quickly and with minimal expense, while contested divorces may require litigation. In either case, we develop a strategy tailored to your situation and work to minimize stress while protecting what matters most to you.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
When children are involved, the court’s primary concern is their well-being. Florida requires that parents create a parenting plan that outlines decision-making responsibilities and time-sharing arrangements. We help you create, modify, or enforce a parenting plan that is realistic, detailed, and in your child’s best interest.
If parents cannot agree, we present your case to the court, using evidence and expert input when appropriate. Whether you’re fighting for equal time-sharing, seeking primary custody, or responding to a relocation request, we provide clear guidance and strong advocacy.
Child Support and Financial Support
Florida law requires both parents to contribute financially to their children’s upbringing. Child support is calculated using a formula based on income, expenses, and parenting time. We help ensure that support is calculated accurately, fairly, and reflects your family’s financial circumstances. If your financial situation has changed significantly, we assist with modifications to increase or reduce the current amount.
We also represent clients seeking or contesting spousal support (alimony), whether it’s bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, or lump sum. Every family’s financial situation is unique, and we make sure that any support arrangement reflects your needs and long-term goals.
Paternity and Parental Rights
For unmarried parents, establishing legal paternity is essential to securing rights related to custody, support, and parenting time. We assist both mothers and fathers with paternity actions, including court-ordered DNA testing when necessary. Once paternity is confirmed, we help create or modify custody and support orders so that both parents are treated fairly and the child receives the care they deserve.
Adoption and Step-Parent Rights
Growing your family through adoption is a joyful but legally detailed process. We guide clients through step-parent adoption, relative adoption, and private adoption matters with care and precision. If a biological parent is uncooperative or absent, we help you navigate the legal steps required to terminate parental rights when appropriate and finalize the adoption.
Our firm also assists with guardianship and temporary custody for grandparents and extended family members who are stepping in to care for a child in need.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
If you or your child is experiencing threats, abuse, or stalking, the law allows for swift legal protection through injunctions (protective orders). We act quickly to file emergency petitions and represent you at court hearings to secure orders that restrict the abuser’s contact and provide for your safety.
If you’ve been wrongfully accused of domestic violence, we also provide strong defense against protective orders that could impact your custody rights, employment, or reputation. We ensure your side of the story is heard and supported by evidence.
Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement
Life doesn’t stop after a divorce or custody order is finalized. If your circumstances have changed, or if the other party is refusing to follow the court’s orders, we can help. We assist with post-judgment modifications of time-sharing, support, and parenting plans. We also pursue enforcement actions when one party fails to comply with obligations such as support payments, visitation, or asset transfers.
We act quickly to restore fairness and make sure court orders are respected, using the legal tools available to compel compliance.
