Family Law
What is a Family Law Attorney?
Family Law is the area of law that deals with domestic or family related issues. A Family Law Attorney handles cases that are related to family matters. The Law Office of Evan S. Kass, P. L. will be able to provide an attorney who will be able to understand your particular family situation and provide comfort, guidance, and professionalism while handling your case.
Paternity
A paternity case may be brought either by the child's mother or a potential father to legally establish a father of the child.
Many rights to the child are effected by the legal establishment of a father for the child. This can include the establishment of child support and a time-sharing schedule.
If you receive notice from the Florida Department of Revenue regarding the establishment of child support payments contact our office so that we may discuss your options.
Name Change
If a person wishes to legally change their name in Florida, that person in good faith can do so.
A name change may be required for a person if: the name they go by now is different from the stated on their Birth Certificate, the person does not like their current name, or due to a divorce hiccup a name change was not ordered by the court.
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking
Are you being abused?
