Real Florida Divorce & Family Law Outcomes

Divorce and family law cases are never one-size-fits-all. Every family, financial situation, and future goal is different. At Justin Andersson, P.A., we focus on practical, results-driven solutions that protect our clients’ interests while keeping costs predictable through transparent flat-rate fees—never hourly billing.

Below are real-world case examples that show how we approach Florida divorce and family law matters, including uncontested divorces, child custody disputes, alimony under Florida’s 2023 reforms, military divorces, and high-asset property division. These examples are provided for educational purposes and reflect common outcomes under Florida law - not guarantees.

Uncontested Divorce Case Study
Efficient, Flat-Fee Divorce Without Court Battles
When spouses agree on the major issues, an uncontested divorce can save significant time, money, and stress. In this case, a couple ending an eight-year marriage had already reached agreement on property division but needed guidance navigating Florida’s legal requirements and documentation. We structured a simplified dissolution of marriage, ensured compliance with Florida residency rules, and finalized the divorce in under 90 days—without unnecessary litigation

Child Custody & Time-Sharing Case Study
Protecting Stability and Co-Parenting After
Divorce Child custody cases require careful attention to Florida’s “best interests of the child” standard. In this matter, parents disagreed over time-sharing after one parent relocated within Florida. By developing a detailed parenting plan—including virtual visitation, school access, and structured holiday schedules—we helped reduce conflict while maintaining meaningful relationships for both parents.

Alimony After Florida’s 2023 Law Changes
Strategic Support Planning Under the New
Rules Florida’s elimination of permanent alimony in 2023 significantly changed how courts approach spousal support. In this moderate-term marriage, the lower-earning spouse needed financial stability while preparing to re-enter the workforce. Using Florida Statute 61.08, we secured durational alimony combined with rehabilitative support, aligning with the new statutory limits and avoiding prolonged litigation.
