Practice Areas Description

At our firm, we handle a variety of legal matters pertaining to family law, including:

- Family Law

Whether you are going through a divorce or you want to adopt your stepchild, family matters are emotional. If you and your family are going through a difficult time and need legal help, you need a skilled attorney to guide you through your legal matter and calm your fears. At the law office of David T. Agoston, Attorney at Law, we will help you find a reasonable resolution to the issue at hand. I am David T. Agoston and I have more than 15 years of experience handling family law matters. Along with my team of legal professionals, I will work hard to give you the knowledgeable and zealous advocacy you need to get through this time in your life.

- Divorce

Going through a divorce is a very stressful experience. It can also be expensive, since you and your spouse may be maintaining separate households instead of one. Unfortunately, at times lawyers can make the process even more stressful and expensive than it needs to be. I have been a lawyer in Southwest Florida for 15 years, and I have extensive experience in the criminal and family courts in Collier and Lee counties. The biggest difference between us and other divorce attorneys is that we offer a flat fee arrangement. Unless your divorce goes to trial, we will quote you a flat fee that will cover your case from beginning to end. The vast majority of divorces in Florida are settled without going to trial.

- Property Division

At the law office of David T. Agoston, Attorney at Law, we help clients divide their property and debts in a divorce so they have the financial support they need to step into the future. For more than 15 years, David T. Agoston has been representing clients in their divorces and family disputes. He will explain your options and fight for your interests.

- Child Custody & Visitation

Child custody and visitation disputes can be emotionally draining on all parties involved. You need an attorney who can help you through this difficult time and guide you through the legal process as painlessly as possible. I am David T. Agoston and I have been a trial lawyer in Lee County and Collier County for more than 15 years. I have extensive experience in family courts. I would not put you through a child custody trial unless you really felt it was necessary and there was no other way to resolve your dispute.

- Child Support

At the law firm of David T. Agoston, Attorney at Law, we assist clients with their child support disputes. Whether you are in a divorce or asserting your rights in a paternity action, we can help you. I am David T. Agoston and I have been helping clients with child support issues for more than 15 years. Along with my team of legal professionals, we will give you experienced and zealous representation in your legal matter.

- Alimony

I am David T. Agoston and I have more than 15 years of trial experience in Collier and Lee Counties. I have extensive experience representing ex-spouses in their divorces and helping them negotiate alimony or, when necessary, to go to trial to get the support they need for their future.

- Modifications

Divorce and paternity settlements are not written in stone. Many parts of your agreement, such as child support, child custody and visitation, and spousal support can be changed if there is a significant change in your circumstances after the divorce. If you need to modify your divorce agreement, we can explain how the process works.

- Paternity Actions

In Florida, both mothers and fathers can file paternity actions. Mothers usually do so because the father is not paying voluntary child support. Many fathers seek to establish paternity because the mother either is not providing visitation or is playing puppet-master with the father over when he can and can't see his child. If you are having issues over child custody or support, we offer a free initial consultation to explain how paternity actions work in Florida.

- Stepparent Adoptions

Most stepparent adoptions are only considered by the courts if the non-custodial parent has no contact or limited contact with a child. Florida courts take the issue of the best interests of the children involved very seriously. Once the adoption is complete, the biological parent will have no parental rights over the child, including no obligation to pay child support. If your children have a close relationship with their stepfather or stepmother, adoption may not be the best option for your family.

- Domestic Violence

If you have been abused or have been accused of domestic violence, you need an experienced attorney to help you through the process to protect your rights. I am David T. Agoston and I have extensive experience in the criminal and family courts in Collier and Lee Counties. I can help you through this difficult time by representing you in court, handling any paperwork and making sure your civil rights are safeguarded in this action.

- Juvenile Dependency

Dependency is the legal term for cases wherein the Florida Department of Children and Families investigates and civilly prosecuted petitions to foce parents to accept certain conditions, services, and parameters of parenting children. Sometimes this includes a shelter of children, which is the legal term for taking children into "protective custody." Let us help you fight to protect your rights. The Florida family law offices of Agoston & Chandler, Attorneys at Law, is here for you. We have been a successful law firm in South Florida for many years. We have seen the worst that the Florida Dependency Court can do to a family and we don't stand for it.
