    Florida Divorce

    Divorce is a difficult time, but it is also a time when the groundwork is being laid for your future. Our Office works to protect your rights and interests, your relationship with your children, and your ability to work together with your former spouse to continue parenting your children.

    At the Law Office of Robert W. Bauer, P.A., we prepare our clients for the legal process while at the same time helping them deal with the emotional issues of divorce. When possible, we help people resolve the issues of divorce (marital property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support) outside the courtroom using negotiation or mediation.


        Divorce Mediation

    Mediation is not the solution for everyone facing divorce, but it may be an option for many people. Some of the benefits:

    • It is usually faster than litigation
    • It is typically less expensive than taking your divorce to court
    • The settlement agreement that results is usually more satisfactory to both parties
    • If all of the issues are not resolved, you can take those areas of agreement you did reach to the court and allow a judge to handle those issues you could not resolve

        Handling the Details   After a divorce, or when you adopt a child, you may need to change your will, property deeds, powers of attorney, living will, or health care directive. All of these services are available to you through our office.
