Family Law

Family Law Trial Attorneys Serving the Florida Bay Area

At Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A., our family law practice encompasses the following areas:

Divorce - While mediation can bring peace to a conflict, we are ready to focus on litigating the divorce if necessary. Far too much is at stake for you to give up what you are entitled to for resolution.

Child Custody, Parenting Plans and Time Sharing - At Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A., we share the Florida courts' approach in looking out for the best interests of children. While we understand the necessity for sole custody in some specific circumstances, we understand and support the law's position that children benefit from time spent with both parents.

Child Support - With a challenging economy comes challenges to those seeking child support and those paying child support. Losing a job or the opportunity for overtime could result in delinquent payments that result in more serious consequences.

For compassionate representation when so much is at stake, contact us at our St. Petersburg or Tampa office today.

Relocation - If your spouse informs you of a pending relocation with your children, you must take immediate action to protect your rights. At our firm, we help our clients get through the legal implications and the emotional fallout of a possible move. If you are seeking a relocation, we can guide you through the proper legal procedures.

Paternity and Adoptions - The decision to adopt a child is a life-changing step that requires a commitment by the new parent and the experience of a seasoned family attorney. We will be at your side throughout the entire process.

Modifications, Enforcement and Contempt of Court Orders - With changes in personal lives and jobs, a divorce decree is often revisited. We represent our clients seeking to modify a certain part of their divorce or child custody agreement to reflect a recent transition in life.

Mediation and Collaborative Law - While we are more likely to litigate a family law matter, we certainly see the benefit in sitting down and working out a compromise when it appears reasonably possible. It can be faster and cheaper for our clients.
