Collaborative Divorce and Mediation Services

Divorce does not always have to result in aggressive courtroom battles. In fact, many couples benefit from collaborative divorce and marital mediation. By working with a certified family mediator, spouses can find common ground on critical issues such as division of marital assets, spousal support, and parent time-sharing. This approach is designed to reduce the emotional toll on families and save time and money compared to traditional litigation. At The Law Offices of Mara Bernstein, P.A., the goal is to resolve disputes constructively and preserve amicable family dynamics for the years ahead.

Protecting Children: Child Custody and Parenting Plans

When children are involved in a divorce, their well-being is the top priority. Developing a detailed and structured parenting plan is crucial to ensuring a smooth transition. Our legal practice excels in establishing fair child support and child custody arrangements that serve the child's best interests. We work closely with parents to draft clear time-sharing agreements and negotiate emergency clauses in parenting plans for unexpected circumstances such as natural disasters. Whether you need to establish paternity, modify an existing child custody order, or address parental relocation disputes, having a seasoned divorce attorney by your side is vital to protecting your parental rights.

Alimony and Equitable Distribution of Assets

Determining alimony and executing the equitable distribution of assets are often some of the most highly contested aspects of marital dissolution. Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning that marital assets and debts must be divided fairly, though not necessarily on a fifty-fifty basis. This includes complex financial elements such as the division of family-owned businesses, real estate, retirement accounts, and investment portfolios. Our firm works diligently to verify all marital property and secure a fair financial split. Whether your situation involves a claim for alimony, or child support, we provide strong advocacy to ensure your financial contributions and post-divorce needs are fully recognized.

Strategic Planning: Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Protecting your financial future before or during a marriage is a proactive step that provides peace of mind. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are excellent tools for protecting personal and business assets. Our firm assists clients with pre-divorce strategic planning, guiding them through asset identification and draft preparation. We help couples outline clear terms regarding property division and alimony, reducing potential conflict down the road. If you are considering entering into a prenuptial agreement, our Boca Raton legal team will draft a document tailored to your specific financial situation.
