Is it too Late to Restore My Maiden Name in Florida?

December 18, 2014/0 Comments/in Legal Name Change/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

In Florida, as in most other jurisdictions, women can restore their maiden name as part of the divorce process.  However, for a lot of reasons, many women keep their married name. Sometimes it is so they can maintain the same last name as their minor children, making it easier to communicate with school and healthcare […]

Florida Same-Sex Annulment

November 26, 2014/0 Comments/in Case Law Update, LGBT Family Law Matters/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

As Florida does not currently recognize same-sex marriages, some judges have interpreted the state’s ban as precluding them from granting same-sex divorces.  I am involved in a case in which two women married in Massachusetts, moved to Florida, and separated.  They utilized the interdisciplinary collaborative process to come to a full settlement agreement and filed […]

Podcast: Comparing Collaborative Divorce and Mediation

November 15, 2014/0 Comments/in Collaborative Divorce, Divorce, Divorce Work/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Garin Vick in Tampa, Florida, where we recorded an interview for his podcast show, Divorce without Destruction.  We discussed the similarities and differences between collaborative divorce and mediation. We talked about how both are forms of private dispute resolution that are better than duking it […]

Florida Collaborative Divorce: A Flowchart

November 8, 2014/1 Comment/in Collaborative Divorce/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

Many people come to my Tampa office because they heard collaborative divorce is private, respectful, conducive to co-parenting, and usually quicker than the traditional courtroom divorce.  But they do not quite understand logistically how the collaborative process works. The first thing to understand is that each party is represented by his or her own attorney whose sole purpose […]

Prenuptial Agreements: Divorce Planning or Collaborative Marriage Planning?

October 27, 2014/2 Comments/in Collaborative Divorce/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

Prenuptial agreements have been around for quite some time in Florida.  They are an agreement between people who are about to wed in which the parties set out their rights and responsibilities in a written document that is executed in front of a notary and two witnesses.  Prenuptial agreements are oftentimes thought of as “divorce […]

Tampa Same Sex Divorce Appeal: Text of Answer Brief

October 13, 2014/2 Comments/in Case Law Update, Collaborative Divorce, Family Law News, LGBT Family Law Matters/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe – some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others – some people are born gifted beyond […]

Will a Florida Judge Order a Doggy Custody Schedule?

October 4, 2014/1 Comment/in Case Law Update, Collaborative Divorce, Money & Property, The House/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

When two people are getting divorced in Florida, and they have one or more minor children, a custody schedule (now known in Florida as a time-sharing schedule)  must be established.  Approximately 90-95% of all cases settle at some point (whether it is before the filing of a petition for divorce or after spending tens or hundreds […]

Attorney General Seeks to Prevent Tampa Same Sex Spouses’ Divorce

September 16, 2014/0 Comments/in Case Law Update, Family Law News, LGBT Family Law Matters/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

Florida Attorney General Pamela Bondi has filed a motion to intervene in my client’s same sex divorce matter.  The parties married in Massachusetts, moved to Florida, came to a full settlement agreement via the Collaborative Divorce Process, and asked a Hillsborough Judge to dissolve their marriage.  Their request was denied and their case dismissed.  The case […]

Tampa Same Sex Divorce Case First DOMA Challenge Certified to Florida Supreme Court

August 28, 2014/0 Comments/in Case Law Update, Collaborative Divorce, Family Law News, Florida Statutes, LGBT Family Law Matters/by Adam B. Cordover, Attorney-at-Law

Can two women who were married in Massachusetts but now are residents of Florida divorce in Florida?  That is the question that my Tampa client and her wife were looking to have answered in the affirmative.  The trial judge determined that she did not have the power to dissolve a marriage that the State of […]
