Family law cases for Tampa residents are handled in Hillsborough County Circuit Court. The specific courthouse depends on the case type and filing location.

The timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested and whether issues such as custody or property division are disputed. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others take longer.

Florida courts determine custody and timesharing based on the child’s best interests, considering factors such as parental involvement, stability, and the child’s needs.

Yes. If there has been a substantial change in circumstances, you may be able to request a modification through the court.

Court filing fees apply, and additional costs may depend on whether the name change is for an adult or a minor and whether a hearing is required. The process is explained during a consultation.
