The rules contained in the Florida Evidence Code apply to all family cases. The requisite evidence may be established by lay or expert testimony, so knowing when each is proper and how to qualify someone as an expert is imperative. Demonstrative evidence, reports, or summaries may also be used, so it is also important to know how to admit those as exhibits.
Do you have a court day quickly approaching and you are under stress about giving your testimony? While testifying poorly can deeply hurt your case, it’s something that can be easily prevented. By following these 10 steps straight from our experienced attorneys, you will be able to prepare yourself to give an effective testimony.

When couples separate or file for divorce, they may go through a period of time when they just can’t get along. One spouse or both can become irrational and seemingly go out of her way to argue and cause problems for the former spouse. Unfortunately, this creates chaos and quite often emotional turmoil for all parties involved.
Based on information from the U.S. Census Bureau in 2009, only 17 percent of parents who had primary custody of their children were men. The time that fathers are able to spend with their children is limited and precious. Regardless of whether you are sharing custody with your ex-wife, or you have partial custody or just visitation rights for your little ones, being a great dad to children going through a divorce means that you are as involved as you can be. Speaking with a men only divorce attorney in Boca Raton or at one of our other locations can help make sure you get the rights to which you are entitled. You deserve the opportunity to spend valuable time with your children, and we are going to make sure you get it.
