Practice Areas
The Law Office of Marybel Reinoso Coleman, P.A. is here for you in your time of need. We recognize that divorce and other family-related matters can be highly emotional and financially crippling; however, you can successfully navigate the waters of divorce with the assistance of a knowledgeable divorce attorney.
At Marybel Reinoso Coleman, P.A., we concentrate our practice in many fields relating to divorce, family and matrimonial law matters. Our areas of practice include:
Divorce Litigation
Divorce litigation involves asking the Family Court to resolve disputed issues when the parties cannot reach an agreement on their own. It is typically used when other divorce resolution methods, such as negotiation or mediation, are unsuccessful.
Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is a process in which a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps the parties work through the issues in their divorce. Mediation can provide a more cooperative setting for developing practical, creative solutions that meet the needs of both parties.
Child Support
Parents are generally required to provide child support for their children, regardless of marital status, until the children reach age 18 or otherwise become emancipated.
Modification Actions
Modification actions are post-judgment proceedings used to change a provision in an existing court order or prior agreement between the parties. To obtain a modification, the requesting party must show that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred.
Marital Settlement Agreements
A Marital Settlement Agreement is a contract used in divorce matters to set out the terms of the parties’ resolution. It typically addresses the division of marital property, assets, and liabilities, as well as support obligations such as child support and alimony.
Time Sharing and Parental Responsibility
If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the Court must determine a time-sharing schedule and parental responsibility arrangement based on the best interests of the child(ren).
Parenting Plans
A parenting plan outlines how you and the other parent will raise your children. It includes a time-sharing schedule, a holiday schedule, and addresses other unique aspects of your family. Family courts require a parenting plan as part of any legal proceedings involving minor children.
Annulments
An annulment legally treats a marriage as though it never existed, declaring that the marriage was never valid.
Paternity
Paternity is a legal action through which unmarried individuals establish legal parentage, granting rights related to time-sharing, decision-making, and child support.
Mediation
In addition to providing legal services, Marybel Reinoso Coleman, Esq., serves as an experienced and neutral mediator, helping parties identify creative and efficient solutions to resolve family law matters.
Guardian Ad Litem
A Guardian Ad Litem is often appointed to serve as the “voice” of the child, as children generally cannot testify in family court proceedings without a court order. Marybel Reinoso Coleman, Esq., has served as Guardian Ad Litem in numerous cases, ensuring that the best interests of the child(ren) are represented and protected.
