Dedicated Leesburg Family Lawyer Protects What’s Most Important

Florida firm asserts clients’ rights in matrimonial and parenting matters

Legal issues involving your family can be complex and emotionally charged. During these difficult times, a trusted attorney can protect your rights and guide you toward a positive resolution. At the Law Office of Kimberly A. Schulte, LLC, in Leesburg, I handle Florida divorces and other family law matters with the utmost compassion, skill and professionalism. Since 1996, my firm has delivered exceptional counsel and service to clients in Lake County and throughout the area. As a lawyer with more than 25 years of experience, I can explain the laws regarding divorce, custody, child support, adoption and other domestic concerns and help you understand your options. From there, I’ll stand with you as we work together to establish a strong foundation for the future of you and your children.

Accomplished divorce attorney provides comprehensive counsel

Even the most amicable divorce can be a difficult experience, but I combine strong advocacy with genuine compassion to handle the marriage dissolution process in a thorough, professional manner. My firm will help you move forward by pursuing favorable terms relating to:

• Child custody — When parents of minor children break up, the primary focus should always be on establishing suitable arrangements for legal authority and time-sharing. I strive to help clients and their spouses construct a fair, detailed parenting plan that is in everyone’s best interests. If this cannot be accomplished, my firm will present the strongest possible case in court or before a mediator.
• Property division — If parties cannot agree on how to divide marital assets and debts, a judge decides what is fair under Florida’s equitable distribution law. The result does not have to be an equal split, so it’s important to have an attorney who is well versed in the relevant statutory factors, such as the duration of the marriage and the economic circumstances of each spouse.
• Alimony — Several different types of alimony exist in the state. Unless the marriage lasted a very long time or a spouse cannot earn a living for some reason, support payments are usually limited in duration. Whether you’re seeking spousal support or are being asked to pay it, I’ll explain how the law applies to you.

Even if you’re not sure if you want to end your marriage, I’ll give you the information and support you need to make an informed choice.

Experienced advocate works to resolve child support issues

Parents who no longer live with their minor children are still obligated to help meet their financial needs. By examining each parent’s income, the time-sharing schedule, health insurance costs and childcare expenses, I can provide an accurate assessment on what the final rate should be. However, complications often arise. Certain types of income might not be reported or a paying parent could intentionally avoid work to reduce their obligation. My firm is a strong advocate for clients in these situations as well as in modification and enforcement proceedings.

Lake County firm assists prospective parents in adoption proceedings

The joy and excitement of adoption can be dampened by the legal and procedural hurdles that prospective parents face when they want to bring a child into their home. Whether you’re looking for a domestic or international placement, my firm helps you understand the process from the start and guides you through each step. From negotiations with agencies through the reviews conducted by the Florida Department of Children and Families, I’ll work tirelessly to prevent unnecessary delays and make sure you are as prepared as possible.
