Practice Areas Description
- DivorceThe family law practice at the law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A., focuses on finding cost-effective solutions to the complex problems that can arise in divorce cases. While we work with people in all kinds of circumstances, our experience is especially well suited to the needs of clients who anticipate special complications in their divorce, such as difficult asset division problems or high-conflict timesharing disputes between parents.
- Divorce Asset Protection
Few people go through the divorce process with any particular sense that their own case is especially simple or complex. After all, what's the basis of comparison? Whether or not one case is more complicated than another, the divorcing spouses will usually consider the dissolution of their marriage to be one of the most intense and challenging experiences they've ever gone through.
- Uncontested Divorce
Some people hesitate to consult with a lawyer when they think they can get a low-cost, low-stress uncontested divorce. Not only are they interested in saving the legal fee, they're concerned that the attorney they meet with might stir up disagreements and contested issues where none exist. At the law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A., we understand this hesitation. Nevertheless, we think you owe it to yourself to get legal advice before signing off on a stipulated divorce settlement.
- Marital Property Division
For many people, especially those with grown children or no children at all, the most important issues in their divorce will concern property division. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means that the primary legal objective is to achieve a fair division of marital assets and liabilities as opposed to a strictly equal one. At the same time, getting an accurate idea of what an even split would look like is usually a good starting point for the property settlement process.
- Divorce Asset Characterization
At the law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A., our divorce attorneys pay close attention to the details of any asset or debt characterization issue so that our clients can protect property that should not be subject to division in divorce, and pay no more than their fair share of the marital liabilities. Knowing just what is and isn't included in the marital estate is essential to satisfactory property settlement outcomes.
- Divorce Hidden Assets
In the early stages of a Florida divorce, each spouse must make a complete and accurate disclosure of assets, income and liabilities to the other. This information provides the foundation for resolving such issues as alimony, property division and child support.
- Prenuptial Agreements
At the law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A., our family law attorneys offer comprehensive client service on all aspects of prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. We can advise you about the use of a pre- or post-marriage contract in your situation, or review a prenup that you have been asked to sign. We can let you know whether your circumstances after marriage make a postnuptial agreement advisable. In the event of divorce, we can give you a good idea of the enforceability of an agreement that is already in place, and depending on the details, we can attack or defend its terms.
- Spousal Support
If you are concerned about alimony issues in your divorce, you stand to benefit from the advice of an attorney who knows how to evaluate the situation in terms of the likelihood that alimony will be awarded, the amount of a monthly or lump sum payment, the duration of an spousal support obligation, and the interrelationship between alimony and property division. Contact an experienced divorce lawyer at the Fort Lauderdale law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A., to get a sound understanding of the alimony issues that apply to your situation.
- Child Custody
Recent changes in Florida family law mean that divorce lawyers and their clients need to get used to new terminology on the range of legal and practical issues formerly known as child custody and visitation. Parenting plan and timesharing are the new terms for the decisions that divorcing parents need to make about primary residence, legal custody and the noncustodial parent's right to regular access to the children.
- Parental Relocation
Difficult economic conditions aggravated by the financial problems often generated by divorce can lead people to consider moving away from South Florida in order to be closer to relatives or find better employment in another state. When a parent with primary physical custody of a child is thinking about relocation, the other parent's interest in regular visitation will be significantly affected.
- Child Support
The use of standard guidelines to determine the amount of child support payments in Florida divorce and paternity cases has gone far to promote certainty and reduce disagreements between parents on child support issues. It's usually fairly simple to identify the amount of a noncustodial parent's basic child support payment.
- Paternity
When a child's parents are unmarried, either the mother or the state has a strong interest in identifying the father either through his own acknowledgment or by means of a DNA test. From the standpoint of the mother and the state, it's important to determine and enforce a child support obligation on the part of the natural father. From the standpoint of the father, determination of paternity is the essential first step in obtaining a secure right of access to the child.
- Post Decree Modifications
Whether ordered by the court or stipulated between divorcing spouses, such continuing obligations as child support, alimony or timesharing arrangements can be revised as necessary to meet changed needs and circumstances. They can also be enforced if they go into default.
- Divorce Mediation
If you can't work out a disputed family law issue through negotiation, you will probably need to submit it to mediation before a Broward County judge will schedule a hearing on the matter. Fort Lauderdale divorce mediation attorney Robert Moraitis helps clients get the most out of mediation on problems involving property division, timesharing, alimony and child support. To learn how his experience with mediation can work to your advantage, contact the law firm of Robert J. Moraitis, P.A.
- Domestic Violence

If you are the victim of spousal assault or other family violence, we can advise you about your options for protecting yourself to the greatest extent possible.
