“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.”

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:

A divorce case can often take months to conclude, therefore temporary court orders may be requested for certain issues such as child support while the divorce case is pending.

Under F.S. 61.13(1), the court may award child support “at any time” in dissolution proceedings.

F.S. 61.30, which contains the child support guidelines schedule, determines the amount of that support.

The guidelines schedule is the starting point for determining temporary child support, just as they are for final child support orders.

The guidelines schedule in F.S. 61.30 creates a presumptive level of child support based on the gross income of the parties, less certain allowable deductions, and the number of children.

Board Certified Expert in Marital and Family Law, Gary S. Dolgin is proud to be the author of Chapter 6. “Temporary Relief” in the 6th through 13th editions of The Florida Dissolution of Marriage book.

This book is published by The Florida Bar and is widely used as a reference by attorneys and judges when it comes to divorce issues in Florida.

Looking for a family lawyer in Tampa to help with temporary relief during divorce proceedings? A divorce case can often take months to conclude, therefore temporary court orders may be requested for certain issues such as support while the divorce case is pending.

Whether the non-wage-earning or lower-wage-earning spouse will be able to survive economically during the proceedings is often determined at the first hearing on temporary relief.

Whether interim attorneys’ fees are granted will affect the spouse’s ability to obtain representation.

It may be helpful to engage an accountant or obtain other third-party information about the payer’s earning ability and assets.

Alimony will be awarded if need and ability to pay can be proved.

Temporary relief orders are often entered by judges after short hearings with limited evidence. If further discovery reveals that a temporary support order is inequitable or based on improper calculation, any inequity can usually be resolved in the final judgment, after a full and fair opportunity to be heard.
