Family Law courts address separation agreements if parents are not able to reach agreement on issues that coincide with separation, such as parenting time, child support, etc. Florida does not have laws that recognize separation as a legal status, as such. A couple desiring legal status recognition of their physical separation will use other state laws to define legal solutions. Child support, parenting visitation, even alimony, etc., can be legally established in a separation agreement even if divorce does not follow.
There is little difference as to how divorce and marriage separation work under court orders. Financial support for children is established, assets and liabilities divided, etc., under both divorce and separation. Mediation can also be used to settle separation issues, and agreements presented to the courts by the respective attorneys for review. An experienced Family Law Attorney, like Mellany Marquez-Kelly, can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system in reaching a separation agreement that is fair, and will protect your rights.
Attorney Marquez-Kelly is a graduate of Bishop Verot Catholic High School, in Fort Myers, FL. She earned her degree in B.S. in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida in the year 2002.
Sabrina is great .
Before I retained Mellany, I was getting nowhere with my first lawyer. My kids were being kept from me, and every time I went to court, I would lose. After I retained Mellany, we immediately got started on the things I needed to do. When it was over, I received full custody of my 8 year old and 1 year old. I went from having my kids kept from me to be a father with full custody. Mellany has a great, confident presence in the courtroom. She made me not feel nervous and made me feel confident that she would get the judge to see the truth, and she did. I would definitely recommend Marquez Kelly Law.
“Hi Mellany. Just wanted to let you know that I went in and paid off my balance today. And I want to thank you again. I was going no where until you took over. You got it done. You’re the best. I’ll see you later.”
Ms. Marquez-Kelly was an amazing advocate for our family’s needs at a time when we really needed assistance. Her professionalism and style were very reassuring at a precise time. She was very easy to discuss our case with and we really appreciated the free consultation we had prior to hiring her. I felt at ease and was confident after meeting with her that she was the right attorney for my case. As it turns out, she was definitely the right attorney for us.
