Margate Divorce Lawyer
You have probably known for a while. The question underneath it is always the same: What happens to my children, my house and my savings? For more than 30 years, our attorney at the Law Offices of Mark Abzug, P.A., has answered that question for people in Margate and across Broward County, starting with your situation rather than a strategy off the shelf.
Divorce is a legal process, but it is also a year of your life. Our founding attorney, Mark Abzug, builds his approach around what your family looks like after the case closes.
Legal Guidance When Your Family Needs It Most
Some clients arrive with a signed agreement and an uncontested filing. Others are untangling a 30-year marriage, a shared business and a retirement account nobody has reviewed in a decade. Whether you live near the State Road 7/US-441 corridor, off Atlantic Boulevard or in the neighborhoods between, these are the issues attorney Abzug handles most often:
- Time-sharing and parental responsibility: Florida no longer says custody, but the questions stand: Where do the children sleep and who decides about school and healthcare?
- Gray divorce: A split at 60 turns on pensions, Social Security timing and a marital home that has appreciated for decades.
- Alimony and support: Florida rewrote its alimony framework in 2023, and the length of your marriage shapes what a court can order.
- Modifications and enforcement: Job losses, relocations and a former spouse who stops paying are all grounds to return to court.
No two of these files look alike. When children are involved, most of the work sits in the parenting plans and time-sharing schedules you will live with for years, including how a school-night handoff works when one parent moves up to Coral Springs or over to Coconut Creek.
Margate family law cases fall under Florida’s 17th Judicial Circuit, with official filings processed at the Broward County Central Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Having an attorney, Abzug, by your side who understands local court procedures can help ensure efficient management of your filings.
