Divorce Settlements Built Around Your Decisions
Customized settlement agreements drafted to protect your future, reflect your priorities, and provide total clarity for both parties.
You Decide How to Divide Property & Debt
Mediation puts decisions in your hands—not the lawyers
Florida law applies the principle of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets and debts are divided in a manner that is fair based on statutory factors.
"The court must begin with the premise that the distribution should be equal.”
In mediation, you and your spouse work toward an agreement regarding how assets and liabilities will be divided. While courts begin with an equal starting point, the final distribution may vary depending on the circumstances and the terms agreed upon by the parties.
Mediation allows you to define these terms directly, rather than having them determined by a judge after litigation.
Settlement agreements are prepared to clearly document the division of assets and debts, including specific terms regarding allocation, transfer, and responsibility. This level of detail helps reduce ambiguity and supports long-term enforceability.
The 4 Pillars of Your Settlement Agreement
Every detail of your life—from property and debts to taxes and alimony—is carefully captured in a 40–45 page customized agreement, ensuring there are no surprises later.
Protecting Your Assets and Lifestyle:
Every couple is unique. Whether you are dividing a primary home, retirement accounts, or the family pet, Eric facilitates a peaceful discussion to allocate your assets in a way that makes practical sense for your future. We focus on your specific needs and goals, ensuring the final agreement is detailed as to how every asset is sold, transferred, or retained—leaving no room for future conflict.
Financial Support & Future Security
Alimony can be one of the most complex issues to resolve. Without a set formula, many couples get stuck in expensive court battles. Leveraging Eric’s 30+ years of experience, we navigate these discussions using Florida Statute factors as a guide—not a weapon. You retain the power to create a fair, reasonable support structure that provides stability for both spouses, rather than leaving the decision to a judge.
Safeguarding Your Future: Taxes & Insurance
The ‘hidden’ details of divorce—health insurance, life insurance, and tax filings—require precision. Eric helps you meaningfully negotiate these outcomes so your agreement provides total clarity. We resolve exactly who carries coverage, how premiums are handled, and how tax refunds are allocated. This customized drafting ensures your post-divorce life is protected and predictable from day one.
Resolving Liabilities & Unique Priorities
A truly complete settlement means resolving all debts—from mortgages and student loans to credit cards. Beyond common liabilities, Eric addresses specialized issues like business interests or insurance claims. You won’t receive a ‘cookie-cutter’ document; you will receive a personalized 40-45 page agreement designed to handle the nuances of your life, ensuring every unique issue is settled fairly and finally.
Answers to Help You Move Forward
Expert clarity on protecting your financial future and creating a legally sound roadmap for both parties.
What If We Can’t Agree On Every Detail?
Mediation is not 'all-or-nothing.' Even if you can’t agree on every single detail, we can still secure a successful agreement for the vast majority of your issues. In the rare event of an impasse, you retain control over everything else we’ve settled, leaving only the remaining item for the court.
Does Everything Need To Be Divided 50/50?
No. You have the power to prioritize fairness over a strict 50/50 split. While Florida courts start with an 'equal' premise, mediation allows you to create a customized division that makes practical sense for your specific lives, assets, and future goals.
What Makes An Agreement Successful?
What is the key to a successful agreement? Every couple that chooses to work with Eric shares a common goal: they want to control their own financial future rather than handing that power to a judge. If you both value peace more than war, you will reach an agreement that is fair and equitable.
Is My Settlement Agreement Final?
Settlement agreements are intended to provide a complete and lasting resolution of the issues addressed. All agreements are subject to court review and must be approved to ensure they comply with Florida law and applicable standards. When an agreement is clearly written, complete, and reflects the parties’ understanding, it is more likely to be approved without modification.
