Pembroke Pines Interstate Divorce Lawyer

Decades Spent Helping Clients Secure their Interests

When divorce issues arise in multiple states, what is already a complicated and challenging situation can become even more difficult. Laws are different depending on their jurisdiction, so the statutes surrounding child custody, support, and property will be different depending on where the case takes place. At the Law Office of Jerome P. Ventura, we understand how to resolve interstate divorce cases.

Some issues may have to be dealt with in one state while others must be dealt with in another, and failing to act in a knowledgeable way can open the door to future problems. As such, it is critical to retain counsel who possesses a comprehensive knowledge of these issues and knows how to proceed in the best possible way.

Why Acting Quickly is Better

While all family law issues are time-sensitive to a degree, interstate divorce issues can be exceptionally so. In the state of Florida, a person is considered a resident after living there for six months. This means that in cases where a child moves away with a parent, there are only six months to act before the child falls under the jurisdiction of the other state. What may have been a simple issue before can morph into a more costly and drawn out concern. With more than 25 years of experience working on multistate divorce issues, our founding attorney, Jerome Ventura, is prepared to help you work through your issues in the best possible way.

We strongly encourage you to schedule an initial consultation as soon as possible to protect your rights and all potential options.
