Mr Eric Klein

I am a trial lawyer with a boutique practice that helps people. My Firm concentrates in family law – Divorce, Paternity, Custody, and Prenuptial Agreements – consumer bankruptcy and real estate law, Foreclosure Defense and other real estate litigation - we have a title agency, engage in short sale negotiations --- I have highly skilled attorneys in each area --- we work together as a team. We help our Clients navigate a difficult, challenging, often uncertain process and assist them in achieving the best possible results. What’s unique about my practice is that I can assist people in all aspects of their personal and financial troubles from aggressively pursuing a divorce, to defending a foreclosure, short selling a property, bankruptcy and assisting them in rebuilding their credit. Unlike most law firms, we offer all of these services under one roof.

Q. Should my Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage state whether I have to pay my ex-husband maintenance?

May 31, 2025

A: Yes, a Final Judgment or any Marital Settlement Agreement referenced within the judgment must state domestic support obligations. In other words, if alimony was ordered, it must be in the Final Judgment.

Next, where you ask "The parties shall divide their marital property or the court will reserve jurisdiction..." The order should state in what percentage to divide the marital property. You may have to go back to court on a Motion for Clarification. If your 401(k) is part of the marital estate, then yes, you will have to divide it. This will take the services of an expert who specializes in Qualified Domestic Relation Orders ("QDRO"). There is no way around hiring this expert, so don't fight it. The main issue here is how much of your 401(k) is part of the marital estate? The judge should have put this in his Final Judgment.

Good luck! ... Read More

Q. Can I be sued for ex-wife's car repossession after she filed bankruptcy?

March 26, 2025

A: First, the lender has the right and will probably sue you for any deficiency in the loan once the car is repossessed and sold at auction. The bankruptcy will only protect her, not you. She has the option of surrendering or keeping the car by paying off the car loan, her choice. Good luck!

Q. Why is there a motion to vacate in my uncontested divorce in FL?

March 6, 2025

A: It sounds as if once you’re former spouse found out about the inheritance, they hired a lawyer to vacate the final judgment and make a play towards that inheritance. They’re probably claiming some type of fraud on your part. However, an inheritance is not subject to equitable distribution, so I believe, based on the facts you submitted, that your inheritance is safe. But you do need to respond to the motion. Good luck.
