Divorce

If you are considering a divorce and need assistance in understanding Florida law and how it will apply to your case, our attorneys and staff will provide the guidance necessary to help you understand and navigate through every aspect of your case, such as: Equitable Distribution, Alimony, Timesharing; Child Support, and any other marital issue relevant in your case.

The Collaborative Process

The Collaborative Process affords families the opportunity to choose a more holistic approach to resolving their family case. One that not only provides families with more control over every aspect of their case but also provides peace of mind while working in a team setting towards a legal resolution that is ultimately finalized with a valid Court Order.

Paternity

When a child is born to unmarried parents, a legal relationship between the father and child must be established before a court or administrative authority will order child support. This legal relationship is called paternity.

Modifications

Modifications are cases that arise after a final judgment has already been entered and only if there has been a substantial change in circumstance that is unanticipated and permanent in nature, thereby justifying a modification. Modifications can take place in regards to the following issues: support payments such as, alimony and/or child support as well as parenting plans and timesharing schedules.

Relocation

When one parent wishes to relocate with the minor child(ren) 50 miles or further from their current location, they must first seek permission. Permission from the other parent or from the Court. In any event, a petition must be filed and a valid court order must exist in order for the relocation to be valid and approved.

Injunction and Restraining Order

An injunction is a court order which prohibits contact between individuals and can involve removing someone from a home or apartment. Restraining orders can often become an issue during many family legal battles, especially divorces. A restraining order is a protective legal instrument designed by the courts to prevent individuals from harassing, assaulting, or otherwise abusing others.

Pre or Post Nuptial Agreements

A pre-nuptial agreement is a contract entered into between two individuals before being legally married. A post-nuptial agreement is a contract entered into between two individuals after they have already become legally married. These agreements offer asset protection and determine issues such as division of property and spousal support, as well as different conditions depending on the length of marriage and/or the reason for the divorce such as, adultery.

Petition for Name Change

This a legal process by which an individual requests permission from the Court to obtain a legal name change, thereby allowing them to change their name on all relevant identification documents, such as their social security card, license, passport and bank and credit accounts. This process is not available to individuals seeking to change their name for an illegal reason such as to avoid a creditor.

Meet Evan

Evan H. Baron, Esq.

Family & Collaborative Law Attorney

Senior Attorney Evan H. Baron has been practicing law for over 35 years. Upon graduating Cum Laude from Nova University Center for the Study of Law, he was hired by the Broward County Public Defenders Office. After two years as an Assistant Public Defender he was promoted to Chief Assistant and was responsible for supervising attorneys and Certified Legal Interns from various Florida Law Schools. During his 5 years at the office, he tried hundreds of criminal jury trials, including some of the most publicized cases in the county. Two of the first degree murder cases he tried were broadcast live on Court TV.

Upon leaving the Public Defender’s Office he went into private practice, where he took his litigation skills into the family court arena. He has handled hundreds of family law cases, ranging from litigation for high end net worth clients to uncontested divorces. Relying on his training in criminal law he has also handled many domestic violence cases, both in criminal and domestic violence courtrooms.

Although he continues to litigate those cases in which litigation is necessary, he has also realized the benefit of the collaborative process and as such he has successfully completed his Collaborative training. This allows parties to work together as a team to finalize the divorce process, without the necessity of litigation.

Mr. Baron has taught at the University level, both in the field of criminal and family law. He has been awarded an AV rating, the highest ranking with Martindale Hubbell. In addition, he has been recognized by Super Lawyers and Legal Elite for his work as a Family Lawyer. He is a member of the Florida Legal Network, whose members must attain the highest level of expertise in their chosen field. He was the creator of and the first President of the Weston Bar Association. He has written numerous articles on family law that have been published in various periodicals.

Mr. Baron has been successful for so many years due to his commitment to his clients. He understands the trauma related to family law cases and works towards a resolution that is best for the client, on both a financial and emotional level.

Client Testimonials

See what our clients are saying about us

Evan did a great job in finally settling my “drawn out” divorce. He not only had excellent knowledge of all the relevant laws and issues, but always looked for areas that would result in a potential win-win for all sides, trying to avoid further costs and litigation. Very polished negotiating skills and very thorough in all areas of divorce law, alimony modification, mediation proceedings, etc…
I have known Evan H. Baron for over thirty (30) years. I first met Evan when he represented me against a first degree murder charge in 1980. In the years subsequent to that Evan has represented me in other criminal cases and in each such instance Evan has dedicated himself and his firm to my defense. With few exceptions the only attorney that I will recommend to another individual is Evan. Why? Because I know from firsthand experience that Evan is fully equipped to handle the task. Evan over the years has demonstrated to me that he is knowledgeable in a vast array of legal areas including constitutional law. He is a seasoned and experienced trial lawyer. More importantly Evan at all times has acted toward me with the utmost honesty and integrity. Insofar as attorneys go, Evan is topnotch. Insofar as human beings go, there is not much better than Evan. Today I consider Evan a friend and not just my attorney.

James
Although I was not the only case Mr. Baron had on his calendar I was always treated and responded to as a priority, As a client we tend to lead by emotions. Mr. Baron through his explanations and suggestions enabled me to leave my emotions at the door and deal with the facts. An attorney/client relationship is one that should have respect and trust. That is what I have experienced with Evan Baron’s office and his staff. Trust and respect.

Lesley
I hired another attorney several years ago to handle my divorce and subsequent modification…I wish I had heard of Evan back then!! Upon first meeting with him, he listened carefully to why I needed help from a professional. He never rushed me into hiring him or making a decision, in fact he suggested I wait and handle a few other personal and more important issues first. He advised me as if I were a friend and not a paying client. His team also treated me with professionalism and handled all my questions with priority and urgency. Evan was always a straight shooter with me. He was clearly interested in doing what was best for me and my family, and not his bank account. We were able to reach a settlement when I truly thought it would never happen. I can’t thank him enough for his help in this case.
