Family Law Services
Fichtman Law represents clients in a wide range of Florida family-law matters, including:
Divorce
Whether your divorce involves relatively straightforward issues or substantial disputes concerning children, property, support, or finances, we help you understand the process, identify the issues that matter, and develop a strategy for moving forward.
Gray Divorce in Citrus County
Gray divorce generally refers to divorce after age 50 or after a long marriage. These cases may involve retirement accounts, the marital home, alimony, substantial property, business interests, and decisions that can affect later-life financial planning. Some gray divorces are uncontested and some are not; the process depends on whether the spouses can resolve the material issues by agreement.

Uncontested Divorce
If you and your spouse believe the important issues can be resolved by agreement, an uncontested divorce may provide a structured way to complete the case without asking the court to decide those disputes. Fichtman Law helps clients identify the issues, understand the process, and document agreed terms involving property, support, children, and other responsibilities.

Child Custody, Timesharing & Parenting Plans
Florida parenting cases can involve timesharing schedules, parental responsibility, school decisions, relocation issues, and other important decisions affecting children. We represent parents in both initial proceedings and post-judgment disputes.

Property Division
Dividing marital assets and liabilities can become one of the most significant parts of a divorce, particularly when the parties own real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, investments, or substantial debt.

Alimony
We represent clients seeking alimony and clients defending against alimony claims, including matters involving the amount, duration, modification, and termination of support.
Child Support
Child-support matters require careful consideration of income, parenting arrangements, health-insurance expenses, childcare costs, and other factors that may affect the support calculation.

Modification
Circumstances do not always remain the same after a family-law case ends. We assist clients with appropriate modification proceedings as well as enforcement of existing court orders and judgments.
Enforcement & Contempt
When a party does not follow a family law court order, enforcement may be necessary. We help clients address non-compliance involving child support, parenting plans, alimony, property transfers, and other court-ordered obligations.

Paternity
For unmarried parents, establishing paternity can determine important rights and responsibilities involving parental responsibility, timesharing, and child support.
Family Law Second Opinion
If you are already represented or have received legal advice but still have questions about a family-law matter, a second opinion offers a focused review of the issues, the current posture of the case, and possible next steps. It is intended to support clarity and informed decision-making, not to criticize current counsel or require a change of attorneys.
