What the Court Generally Considers in Family Law Cases?

Since family law may involve many different issues, the court will consider each specific legal issue on it’s own merits unless family law issues directly correspond with other family law matters.

Each family law issue that is to be resolved may have specific criteria that the court will consider outlined by Florida Statutes, and/or Federal Law.

Depending upon the specific issues at hand the court may have to consider the length of the marriage, the income of both spouses, factors that relate to the best interest of minor children, paternity issues, and any other factors that may relate to a family law dispute.

The court will attempt to make all rulings in what they consider to be a fair and reasonable resolution based on the arguments or facts that are presented to the court in the appropriate window provided all parties involved.
