Family Attorney Tampa Gary Dolgin Honors His Mother On Her Birthday

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Birthday To Dr. Ann Dolgin who turns 88 years old today!

Today we honor Gary’s sweet and wonderful mother on her special day.

Gary shares a beautiful dedication to his Mom:

“My mother has always been a trail-blazer.

When my brother, and sister and I were in elementary school, she obtained her Doctorate in Education and showed us, at an early age, the importance of hard work and dedication. She temporarily relocated with us to the University of Miami and my Dad visited every other weekend, traveling from Tampa.

She lost her mother at age 14 to cancer and my grandfather, who worked seven days a week in a laundromat, sacrificed to make sure that my uncle and my mother were the first in the family to attend college. My mother passed on the importance of education to her children.

My brother, sister and I all reside in Tampa. My brother is a Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon, and my sister is an Engineer.

My mother was married to my father for 53 years at the time of his death.

At 88, she is still sharp and enjoying her retirement. She is still a world traveler and is going to Morocco in March.

She enjoys her eight wonderful grandchildren and is always ready to share her life experiences and advice with them. She is also thrilled to have became a great grandmother on February 4th.”

Tampa Spousal Support Lawyer Gary Dolgin Explains Alimony Modification Laws In Florida

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Modifications of alimony generally require:

(1) a substantial change of circumstances;

(2) that was not contemplated at the time of the final judgment; and

(3) that is sufficient, material, involuntary, and permanent in nature.

An award of permanent periodic alimony generally is subject to modification if a substantial, permanent, involuntary, and unanticipated change of circumstances occurs.

Not all changes in circumstances, however, will support a modification of alimony. For example, the clean hands doctrine prevents a court from relieving a former spouse of his or her obligation to pay alimony to the other spouse when the decrease in the former spouse’s financial ability to pay has been brought about by his or her voluntary acts.

Here at The Law Offices of Gary S. Dolgin, we will put our knowledge and 30 years of experience to work for you, whether you are seeking alimony or defending a claim against alimony.

Being Board Certified in Marital and Family Law as well as being a Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator sets Gary Dolgin apart. He will put his expertise to work for you and advocate for the best possible result in your alimony case.

Best Child Custody Lawyer In Tampa Florida Gary Dolgin Explains Parents’ Duty With Regards To Minor Children During Separation and Divorce

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

F.S. 61.13(2)(C)1 states that it is the public policy of Florida to assure that each minor child has frequent and continuing contact with both parents after the parents separate or the marriage of the parties is dissolved and to encourage parents to share the right, responsibilities, and joys of childrearing.

Similarly, F.S. 61.13(3)(a) lists the “demonstrated capacity and disposition of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship, to honor the time-sharing schedule, and to be reasonable when changes are required” as the first factor to be considered in determining the child’s best interest.

Each parent must refrain from doing anything that would undermine the other parent’s contacts and relationship with the child and must encourage the child to spend time with the other parent.

Each parent has an affirmative duty to keep the other parent informed and involved.

Here at The Law Offices of Gary S. Dolgin, we have been helping mothers and fathers with relocation and child custody for over 30 years in the Tampa area.

We have also been committed to protecting children’s best interests while helping to advocate for their parent’s rights.

If you are having any child custody issues such as relocation, determining parental responsibility, time-sharing problems, or any other custody issue that may be causing an unhealthy situation for your child, or negatively affecting your parental rights, we are here to help you.

Divorce Lawyer in Tampa Gary Dolgin Explains The Things To Consider In Regards To The Marital Home During Divorce

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

In determining an equitable distribution of the marital assets and liabilities, the court must consider the advisability of “retaining the marital home as a residence for any dependent child of the marriage, or any other party,” if it is in the best interest of the child or party and economically feasible to do so.

During divorce, other things to consider regarding the marital home include:

– Is one spouse willing to convey all interest in the home to the other?

– Do the parties want to sell the property and divide the proceeds?

– Can the parties agree to the exclusive use of the home by one party as alimony or child support?

Tampa Alimony Lawyer

Tampa Alimony Lawyer Gary Dolgin Explains That Need and Ability To Pay Must Be Considered When Determining Alimony Award

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Alimony awards are based on several criteria but are ultimately governed by a two-pronged test: the need of the receiving spouse and the ability to pay of the paying spouse.

The standard of living established during the marriage is the most important independent factor.

The threshold question of ability to pay should be determined before any of the other factors are considered.

If a spouse does not have the ability to pay, it matters little to what lifestyle a party has become accustomed or what the party’s physical or mental condition is.

The ability to pay must be established before need.

Here at The Law Offices of Gary S. Dolgin, we will put our knowledge and 30 years of experience to work for you, whether you are seeking alimony or defending a claim against alimony.

Being Board Certified in Marital and Family Law as well as being a Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator sets Gary Dolgin apart. He will put his expertise to work for you and advocate for the best possible result in your alimony case.

Best Family Law Attorney Tampa Gary Dolgin Honors The Memory of His Father The Late Dr. David Dolgin

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Gary Dolgin’s father, the late Dr. David Dolgin would have celebrated his 92nd birthday tomorrow.

He is missed and remembered warmly by the Dolgin family and those friends and patients who loved him.

Gary shares his touching sentiment in loving memory of his father:

“It is so hard to believe that 14 years ago this month my dad Dr. David Dolgin passed away unexpectedly while traveling with my mother on a three week trip thru Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

When he got sick in Bangkok, he called me and asked me to call his office and reschedule his patients. He was still practicing periodontics one day each week at the age of 77. His patients loved him and did not want him to retire.

My dad was Tampa’s first Board Certified Periodontist. His Board Certification inspired me to become a Board Certified Expert In Marital and Family Law as well.

I miss him everyday. I wish we had more time with each other. I am thankful he had the joy of meeting all of his grandchildren, but I wish he could see them now.

He would have been thrilled to be at my son Corey’s wedding last month but his presence was felt during this special occasion. He would have warmly welcomed Melanie into the family.

He and my mother would have been married 67 years this past December.

Today we remember the wonderful husband, father, grandfather and brother that he was.”

Child Custody Attorney Tampa FL Gary Dolgin Explains How Violation of Time-Sharing Is Handled By The Court

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Violations of the time-sharing schedule in the parenting plan, without proper cause, may be punished by contempt of court or other remedies that the court deems appropriate.

Failure to adhere to the time-sharing schedule may also lead the non offending party to seek a modification based on the offending party’s actions or inactions.

The remedy provided due to a party’s refusal to honor time-sharing rights is makeup time-sharing to the non offending party under F.S 61.13(4)(c).

Before ordering makeup time-sharing, however, the court must consider the best interests of the child.

Finding that makeup time-sharing is in the best interest of the child is, by itself, insufficient; the manner in which it is to be imposed must also be in the best interest of the child.

We have also been committed to protecting children’s best interests while helping to advocate for their parent’s rights.
