Memorial Day commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. It is a holiday many of us spend doing family gatherings, backyard BBQs or enjoying a nice evening out with friends and family. However we choose to celebrate Memorial Day in St Petersburg & Clearwater Florida, we do so by honoring those who have lost their lives for our great freedoms. 

Getting a Divorce in the State of Florida.

It is important to understand from the jump that Florida is a “no fault” state.  What this means is no one has to prove anything such as adultery to end a union between two people.  If either spouse wants to file for divorce under the auspices of the partnership being “irretrievably broken” then they may do so.  The court, however may take into consideration levels of liability when determining alimony.

Don’t forget one important factor.  At least one of the couple must have been a resident of the Sunshine State for at least 6 months.  A simple dissolution of marriage would be simple if everything falls into place.  Residency, pregnancy, greed, harmony, no minor children, etc. are all factors that may complicate the proceedings.

This is why it is imperative to consult with a family attorney in Florida.  When you contact the office of Kidder and Bennett you are talking to a premier family law firm in the Tampa/St. Pete area.  Make the right decision about your future.  If you live in Pinellas County Florida reach out to St. Petersburg divorce attorneys Kidder and Bennett today by calling (727) 821-8000. 

Finding a Certified Mediator in the State of Florida.

Finding the right mediator to help you settle a dispute may be one of the most important things you ever do.  A disagreement between two partners may create a rift that can end up in an ugly and very expensive court battle.  Your mission in settling something of this magnitude should always be to “keep it out of court”.

Mediation is the antithesis of a trial.  You avoid the stress, expense, and enormous amount of time that a trial can entail.  By mediating a dispute, you may preserve a positive relationship that took years to build.  The process can be completed in a fraction of the time it would take for a court proceeding.  The cost is less, the stress is reduced, and you have some control over the final decision.

When you contact the office of Kidder and Bennett you effectively get two mediators in one.  Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett both bring 25 years of mediation experience to the table.  It may be one of the best decisions you have ever made.  If you live in Pinellas County Florida reach out to St. Petersburg mediation attorneys Kidder and Bennett today by calling (727) 821-8000.

Protect Your Rights in a Domestic Violence Case.

Proof of Paternity in Florida.

There may come a time in your life where proving or disproving a father’s paternity becomes a life-changing matter.  Once paternity has been established a father’s options are opened wide.  He may now establish or restore his visitation and child-raising rights.  Inherent in those rights are child support, insurance, and eventually inheritance.

Here are some things to remember when determining if a man is THE father…

1.  If the child in question was born or even conceived while he was married to the birth mother.

2.  He legally adopted the child

3.  A court proceeding determines that he is the father

4.  And, best of all when mother and father legally acknowledge that HE is the biological father.

You don’t need to appear on Maury Povich to establish paternity.  You may however need the assistance of St. Petersburg Family Lawyers Kidder and Bennet.  Our attorneys will apply their quarter of a century of experience to help you establish all of the rights and obligations of paternity in the state of Florida.  Contact the office of Kidder and Bennet today at (727) 821-8000.
