Nicole Ferry
Ferry & Ferry, P.A. Helping Good People at their WorstI graduated from Winthrop High School in the top 10 of my class, being inducted into the National Honor Society. During my high school tenure I participated in Varsity Cheerleading, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Softball and Track. I attended Louisiana State University, obtaining my Bachelor's degree in 3 1/2 years. I am licensed in Louisiana and Florida. I have been practicing law for 18 years. For 14 of those, my husband, Chris Ferry has been my law partner. I encourage clients to settle so that they have the ability to make the decisions regarding their lives instead of a Judge; however , when that is not possible, I embrace the litigation side of being an attorney. I have several trials per year. In doing family law, I do my best to answer questions and alleviate the fears my clients may have during their case. Our staff and myself are responsive to client's needs.

- Q. I live in florida and my husband and I are separated. I refianced my home and paid him so he could buy another property.
- A: Any property bought during the marriage with marital funds (i.e., your salary or savings) is a marital asset. You are entitled to his house equity and vice versa. Florida does not have legal separation; hence the marriage is defined in length by the date of marriage until the date of filing the dissolution.
- Q. my Divorce way final in 2010. But her lawyer has not filed the QRDO and I am not able to get my pension. What can I do
- A: I would suggest hiring a QDRO specialist. They charge around $500 to do it. It could save you the headache of waiting.
- Q. In Florida in alimony court if I worked for 30 years at my parents business making 80k and they decide to close
- A: If you are paying alimony a court will look at whether a substantial change has occurred. The change must be permanent and involuntary. I would say yes, that could be basis to reduce your alimony payment. The court will look however to your former spouse's needs and how the reduction will impact him/her. Every case is fact specific.
