MATRIMONIAL AND FAMILY LAW
Divorce, Paternity, Timeshare, Child Support
During these stressful times, We at Watson Leigh are sympathetic and empathetic to the financial challenges people are facing and are here assist pro se parties, as well as those represented, with professional and experienced family law mediation services.
​
​
PATERNITY
In Florida, unmarried Fathers, by "operation of law" have no rights over their children. Before getting upset, understand that you MUST file for Paternity (F.S. 742.10). More than just a way to start or reduce child support, a Paternity filing enables Men to become "Proper Fathers."
​
Not just for Men, Mothers can file Paternity suits too.
DIVORCE, TIMESHARE, MODIFICATION
When it's over, it's over! However, all divorces are emotional and should be handled with experience, stamina, and respect. Whether you are seeking an in-state or out of state time-share agreement (Military deployment/PCS or Civilian), modification, or relocation; rest assured that we will handle your mediation with maturity, understanding, timeliness, and professionalism.
