TAMPA DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW
Tampa Divorce Lawyers at the Galewski Law Group understand that matters of family and marital law are
more than legal issues, but questions of heartbreak and frustration. The decisions that you make or that
are made for you during the dissolution of a marriage or in a child custody and support dispute effect you
mentally, physically and financially. These decisions may alter your life, and you need to know that you
have a Tampa Divorce Lawyer or Tampa Family Law Attorney on your side who will explain the legal
process and the long term effects of the divorce and child custody proceedings.
Our Tampa Family Law Attorneys know that our priority is your comfort. Our Tampa Divorce Lawyers will
take the time to explain the legal process, the options that are available to you and the consequences of
each decision. No one can guarantee results, but your Tampa Family Law Attorney can guarantee that
we will be there to make sure that you are comfortable with the process and that you know the most is
being done to protect you and your family.
Question of the week:
Is it true that the law changed as to custody and that the parents will now have to have split or
50/50 custody?
This is a great misconception. There was a significant law change in regard to child custody and
timesharing that took effect on October 1, 2008, but that law does not necessarily translate to equal time.
The Court is looking to remove the fight over primary residential rights and now wants people to focus on
how they will share time with the child. This is different from mandatory 50/50 time. The Court must still
look to the best interest of the child to determine how time will be shared between the parents. Moreover,
the Divorce Court will want you to work with your co-parent to develop a time sharing parenting plan. To
evaluate the specifics of your case contact your Tampa Divorce Attorney.
I am up-side-down or have negative equity in my home, how do we divide the property?
If you owe more than your house is worth, the court will typically agree with any agreement that you and
your spouse may decide upon. Options that have worked are that the property is treated as an asset and
the mortgage is treated as a liability and each item is divided accordingly. Other times the property is
sold and each side will pay a portion of the loss at closing. More often than not, the property will be either
paid by one spouse that will continue to live in the home, or the house will be sold via short sale, where
the bank will work with the parties and cover the loss.
