That’s My Home!

You worked for it.  You saved for it.  It was meant to be an investment that should last for decades.  Now, an impending divorce puts your continued residence in your castle in question.  You need to think carefully how you will participate in the future of the most expensive purchase that you have ever made for your family.

There are options for dividing real estate.  Some of them are –

1.  Sell it and split the proceeds.
2.  One partner may buy out the other in order to stay in the home.
3.  Remain a co-owner until such time that you can sort things out.

When it comes to this important life decision you need council.  There are a couple of divorce lawyers in Pinellas County who have a combined half-century dealing with these matters.  Trust St. Petersburg Florida family attorneys Nat Kidder and Bill Bennet.  Arrange an appointment at their 275 96th Ave. North office in St. Pete by calling (727) 821-8000.

What is D-6 Clearance in the State of Florida?

In this day and age D-6 could refer to a number of things such as airport security or immigration.  In this particular case, it refers to your driver’s license in the State of Florida.  Here is what happens.  If you get a criminal citation or traffic ticket and you fail to appear in court or pay a fine the Sunshine State will issue a D-6 suspension.

Now you must apply for a D-6 form to begin the process of reinstating your Florida driver’s license.  If you think that just saying “Sorry, I will pay the ticket now,” is enough you would be wrong.  This act may actually trigger yet ANOTHER suspension of your driver’s license in the state!  That sounds odd, doesn’t it?

The answer is obvious.  You contact a law firm that has dealt with this issue many dozens of times over the years.  In the St. Petersburg area, you turn to the combined 50 years of experience of Kidder and Bennett.  Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett have been your Florida driver’s license suspension defense attorneys for many years.  Call them today at (727) 821-8000.

When Partners Separate.

In this era unions occur in many different ways…none is more important than the one in which YOU have been involved.  When same-sex or unmarried couples go their own way, the pain is very real and legal issues need to be addressed with the same importance as any other couple.  Until recent years the law was fuzzy on what happens next.

There are important parenting, legal, financial, and property decisions that need to be made.  When unmarried couples part, their needs may be quite different.  When you register your domestic partnership, you must take several things into consideration such as…sharing of property, vows that require a court action to end the relationship, your obligation to provide for your partner, among others.

Sorting all of this out requires legal expertise.  At a stressful time such as this, call upon the experience of Pinellas County domestic partnership attorneys Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett.  Kidder and Bennett is the right choice when a same-sex or unmarried relationship comes to an end.  Call them today at their St. Petersburg office (727) 821-8000.

When a DUI Charge Goes Horribly Wrong.

Being charged with a DUI is obviously very serious, but when the charge is DUI manslaughter it truly is a matter of life and death.  In this particular case everyone is devastated…the victim, the families, and the accused.  Even if your criminal record has been spotless up until that point the consequences may result in years of prison time.

Here is what a conviction of DUI manslaughter could entail… fifteen years of imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.  No life could ever be the same after that!  And you must never, ever leave the scene.  That could result in up to 30 years behind bars.  Everything you see or do in the aftermath of this event will be carefully considered.

Without experienced, sophisticated representation your chances in court are slim and none.  Your attorney must be a veteran of these types of cases.  Just such a background is found in the half-century of combined criminal law experience of Kidder and Bennett.  If you are charged in Pinellas County FL call DUI manslaughter attorneys Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett at (727) 821-8000.

Shared Parenting.

With the new year may come a new lifestyle within your family structure.  Your kid’s sense of structure and comfort does NOT need to be compromised because two adults find they can't continue to live under the same roof.  This goes to the core of where your children will be mentally and emotionally when they become adults themselves.

Here are some of the long-term goals that you should be discussing with a professional-

1.  Education…where and what type.
2.  Activities outside the norm…what sports or recreational opportunities they may have.
3.  Moral upbringing…including spiritual concerns.
4.  Ability to see their friends…they need to maintain healthy relationships to stay on track.
5.  Medical needs…is there anything more important than their health care?

All of these things and many more should be calmly discussed between the spouses.  When that discussion becomes contentious then it is time to hire a lawyer.  The right choice is Pinellas County shared parenting family attorneys Kidder and Bennett.  Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett have dealt with these issues for a combined 50+ years.  Give them a call at (727) 821-8000.
