Working through the family courts in Florida is a very common experience for many people who are going through any number of cases. The family courts are designed to handle a range of topics, including divorce, custody, domestic violence, guardianship matters, adoption, and much more. Historically these cases were all handled by the same court system in which criminal cases and other court matters were heard, but it became clear that there needed to be a system in place that made decisions based on compassion and consideration of the family unit’s best interests. Since an initial opinion by the Supreme Court of Florida in 1991, Florida has worked tirelessly to continue to expand on the benefits that the family court has to offer.
If you are dealing with any sort of legal matter that will be heard in the Florida family courts, one of the most important initial steps for you to take is to find an experienced family law attorney who can help you through this process. While oftentimes the legal cases heard in family court could just as easily be handled in the regular courts, there is an additional level of consideration to your family; when you work with a family law attorney, you are getting that additional consideration from your legal representation, as well.
