PATERNITY
In need of a paternity attorney in the Tampa Bay area? Paternity refers to the creation of legal parental status between a child born outside of marriage and the biological father. Scientific testing of DNA now allows for a determination of paternity to a 99.9% probability.
MODIFICATION
I am ready to represent parents on both sides of child support issues in Hillsborough and Pinellas County. My support starts with educating you about the formula used to calculate child support and all of the factors that will be considered in your case. I will also be a passionate advocate for you in making certain that a fair and accurate accounting of these factors is considered in your case.
ALIMONY
In a divorce proceeding, the court may grant alimony to either party if supported by the facts and the law. As part of a structured divorce settlement, you may also choose to include alimony or waive it, subject to final approval by the court. Because the tax implications of alimony payments are different from those of child support payments, the benefits and potential drawbacks of paying or collecting alimony must be carefully considered, whether you are the one likely to give or receive support.
MEDIATION
In addition to our divorce and other family law legal services, Hernandez Family Law offers quality, confidential family mediation services providing parties with an alternate process to resolve their disputes. Our mediator guides parties through the issues that will be included in a Mediated Settlement Agreement so that when the mediation is complete, parties will have what they need to finalize their dispute.
