Alimony Modification Lawyer Tampa Gary Dolgin Explains That A Life Insurance Policy May Be Purchased To Secure Alimony Award When Suitable

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

F.S. 61.08(3) allows the court “to the extent necessary to protect an award of alimony,” to order any party ordered to pay alimony “to purchase or maintain a life insurance policy or a bond, or to otherwise secure such alimony award with any other assets which may be suitable for that purpose.”

Life insurance to secure alimony may not be ordered, however, unless specifically requested by a party.

Courts have summarized the law applicable to life insurance in divorce proceedings as follows: An order requiring a spouse to obtain a life insurance policy as security for an alimony award must be supported by record evidence, and the order must include findings as to the cost of insurance, the payor’s ability to afford the insurance and any special circumstances justifying the need for the policy.

The amount of the life insurance policy must be related to the extent of the obligation being secured.

Tampa Child Custody Lawyer Gary Dolgin Explains Determining A Time-Sharing Schedule After Divorce When Children Are Involved

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

In determining an appropriate time-sharing schedule, judges must consider 20 statutory factors and take into account the best interests of the children.

Time-sharing arrangements may differ from family to family. Assuming both parents are good parents, they may want to consider the following in determining an appropriate time-sharing schedule:

(1) that children and parents need blocks of continuous time together, including overnight time, and (2) that the blocks of time should be long enough to ensure that each parent remains an involved parent, rather than one becoming identified with homework and bedtimes and the other with recreation.

Here at The Law Offices of Gary S. Dolgin, we have been helping mothers and fathers with 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.

Tampa Divorce Lawyer

Tampa Divorce Lawyer Gary Dolgin Explains That An Agreement Between Parties Is Not Always Approved By The Court

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

In divorce, just because the parties have reached an agreement, it does not mean the agreement is always enforceable or will be approved by the court.

For example, parties cannot waive entitlement to temporary alimony or attorneys’ fees by antenuptial agreement.

An antenuptial agreement is subject to the existing laws of the state, including the requirement that Spouse A is responsible for supporting Spouse B while they are still married. See Belcher v. Belcher, 271 So.2d 7 (Fla. 1972)

Similarly, any agreement to waive child support would be unenforceable for public policy reasons. See Quinn v Quinn, 169 So.3d 268 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015)

Durational Alimony Tampa – Attorney Gary Dolgin Shares Law Regarding How Marital Misconduct May Affect Alimony Award

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Under F.S. 61.08(1), adultery may be a factor in awarding alimony.

Other marital misconduct, such as spouse abuse, may be considered under F.S. 61.08(2)(j). The effect of marital misconduct is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Courts have held that only misconduct that depletes marital finances is relevant to a determination of alimony. As one court stated, even reprehensible conduct by one party does not justify alimony unless it has caused depletion of the marital finances.

Recently, the same court stated, “the law is clear that absent a showing of related depletion of marital assets, a party’s adulterous misconduct is not a valid reason to award a greater share of those marital assets to the innocent spouse or to deny the adulterous spouse alimony.”

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.

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

“It was great seeing the Mayor of Tampa’s Sister City Le Havre, France Édouard Philippe, who is also the former Prime Minister of France under President Macron. He was in town to renew Tampa’s Sister City relationship with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and explore student exchanges with USF and other trade opportunities.

Ten years ago I traveled with Tampa lawyers to Le Havre and he hosted a five course French dinner for us and he gave me a book on Le Havre art.

My friend Olivier Jougla, President of the French Bar Association and Former Deputy Mayor of Le Havre, was also visiting Tampa with his family. His family hosted me in their home in 2012 and he stayed at our home in 2013.

We enjoyed a great dinner at the Columbia Restaurant with our French friends.

I am looking forward to traveling to Le Havre with Tampa lawyers and judges next October.”

Family Law Attorney Tampa Gary Dolgin Shares Article About When To Start Claiming Social Security Benefits

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

Experts are advising people to wait to claim Social Security benefits and benefits for divorced spouses.

A recent article in The New York Times answers common questions on when to start collecting Social Security.

This article answers questions such as:

– “Why not claim early and invest the benefits in the markets?”
– “Why not claim early, rather than draw down an I.R.A. and other savings?”
– “Will my Social Security benefits be reduced if I work?”
– “Can a person who is due a public pension also collect Social Security benefits?”
– “Can a divorced woman who was married for more than 10 years claim a spousal benefit on her ex-husband’s work record and then switch to her own retirement benefit?”

To see the answers to these questions and gain a better understanding about claiming Social Security benefits, you may read the full article at:

Best Divorce Lawyer in Tampa Gary Dolgin Explains The Award Of Attorney’s Fees In Divorce Cases in Florida

Posted on Author By family-divorce-attorney

One party’s need for assistance with the payment of his or her attorney’s fees when the other party has the ability to pay is grounds for an award of attorney’s fees.

For example in Meighen v. Meighen, 813 So.2d 173 (Fla.2d DCA 2002), when there was a substantial disparity in parties; income, the appellate court held that is was error for the trial court to award only half of the attorneys’ fees to be paid on behalf of the wife.
