Boca Raton Fl. Divorce Lawyer

Sometimes, one spouse decides unilaterally to get a divorce. They might not share their wishes with the other spouse for various reasons, but whatever the situation might be, it can be emotionally devastating and jarring. The key in this situation is to keep calm and reach out to a Boca Raton divorce attorney as soon as possible.

When you are served with divorce papers, you only have 20 days to respond. This means you will need to meet with a lawyer, gather information, and determine your goals for your divorce case in a short time. While you might be in shock, this is not the time to freeze up. Instead, contact our office, and we can advise you on how to proceed.

You will want to gather all relevant information about your children, marriage, assets, property, and debts. This can be a lot, and you want to make sure you don’t miss anything. We can provide a list of what you need to get together so we can draft your answer to the divorce petition.

In the petition, your spouse likely set out what they want in the final divorce order. This can include alimony, property division, time-sharing arrangements, and more. What they request might not match up with what you are willing to agree with, and we can draft any counterclaims or defenses as part of your answer. Once your answer is filed, we will navigate the entire process with your best interests in mind.
