A generation ago, most people in Florida considered prenuptial agreements to be necessary only for the rich and famous. Today's society is quite different than that of 30, 40 or 50 years ago and one marked difference is the increased number of people getting married for the second, third or subsequent time. While the dreams for a happy future remain the same for any marriage, many of the issues that a remarriage can face are quite different than those in a first marriage.
Understanding when to seek sole custody
For many parents who are in the middle of a divorce in Florida, it may be difficult to put the needs of their children first when they are so frustrated with their failed relationship. Often, feelings of anger, sadness and even confusion can create situations that are less-than-ideal for children. While it is highly recommended that parents put the needs of their children at the forefront of their obligations when arranging a child custody agreement, more often than not, creating a functional and beneficial arrangement can be fraught with tension and disagreement.

Violent domestic dispute results in child's death
A more prevalent problem in Florida than many people realize, domestic violence often occurs without the knowledge of people close to the victim. In some cases, friends and family of the victim may suspect that something is wrong, but in many situations, the perpetual mistreatment is not fully understood or even visible. Despite the victim's best efforts or intentions to escape the abusive relationship, doing so safely can be incredibly daunting and even dangerous.
