At our firm we follow the PEACE plan when assisting clients during this difficult process. We zealously guard and represent our client’s best interest. In order to assist our clients we follow the PEACE method. What is the Farrar PEACE Family Divorce Method?
When reviewing your rights and/or responsibilities the Courts utilize the following analysis:
P – Parenting. The first thing that should be addressed when parties divorce are the children. Of course, if there are no children of the relationship then we move on to the next step. If there are children, we must determine an appropriate parenting plan, parenting time and co-parenting agreement.
E – Equitable distribution. Once any children issues are resolved the next step is to determine the equitable division of marital assets and liabilities. Equitable distribution is the term used in Florida for the division of assets and liabilities.
A – Alimony. Once equitable distribution has been accomplished, taken into consideration any revenue and/or expenses which will result from the division of marital assets and liabilities the next step is to determine the potential entitlement to and/or needs and/or ability to pay alimony. There are many different forms of alimony and the law has changed regarding alimony with the proposed legislation.
C – Child support. Child support is based upon guidelines based upon the income of the parties including any alimonies paid or received.
E – Everything else including attorney’s fees and costs. Once all of the other issues have been resolved the last issue to be determined are any miscellaneous issues and attorney’s fees and costs. Attorney’s fees and costs may be awarded to a party if the other spouse is in a far superior position to pay those fees.
