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:
Custody:
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. To evaluate the specifics of your case contact your Tampa divorce
attorney.
Property:
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.
