Q. Can my husband take both cars if they are in his name?

August 9, 2025

A: In Florida, whose name is on the title isn’t the whole story. If the cars were acquired during the marriage, they’re generally treated as marital assets, even if they’re registered and insured only in your husband’s name or paid from his account. By the same token, any loan or credit tied to those vehicles is usually a marital liability. Florida divides marital assets and debts in a way that’s meant to be fair, which often—but not always—lands near 50/50.

Because you’re not in a court case right now, there isn’t a standing order that assigns “who gets which car.” If a divorce is filed, a judge can issue temporary arrangements that give each spouse access to transportation and can prevent one person from selling, hiding, or disabling a vehicle. Day to day, law enforcement often treats car possession between spouses as a civil matter, so a court order is what typically brings clarity.

Also, try not to focus only on the cars. In a long marriage like yours, the marital “bucket” can include: home equity, retirement accounts and pensions (including growth during the marriage), bank and investment accounts, bonuses and tax refunds, business interests, vehicles, furniture, and even points or cash value in certain policies—plus the debts taken on while married (credit cards, medical, tax, vehicle, business).

Practical next steps: start an inventory of everything acquired and every debt incurred during the marriage (documents help—titles, loan statements, bank/retirement statements, insurance) and retain an experience family law attorney. ... Read More

Q. Struggling with child support and parenting plan modification in FL.

August 9, 2025

A: Yes, this is troubling and one in which I do not have an immediate answer because the scenario you described is unclear. It sounds like the current court ordered parenting plan requires your son to live with the father for 100% or majority timesharing and you are the person obligated to pay child support??? It sounds like he has an attorney, and you do not? It sounds like you may be in violation of the current court order? People can often represent themselves in court but sometimes, they should not -especially when the opposing party has a lawyer. In your case, you should not represent yourself. If money is the issue, some law firms have payment plans and financing. Look up your county's Bar Association and see if they have a low-cost domestic relations program where the attorneys work for significantly reduced fees. You can also try unbundled services where the attorney will represent for one part of the case like the hearing or just reviewing all the documents and give you a strategy on how you can handle it yourself. So first get into compliance with the court order on Timesharing and then get an attorney. If I think of any other pro bono or low bono programs, I will gladly supplement my answer so you can have access to those resources. ... Read More

Q. How to fight accusations in a domestic case and address restraining order in FL?

July 31, 2025

A: Please retain an attorney. These DV cases go left and they may not matter as much except for when the DV prevents contact with your children. We see it over and over again because the self represented parent comes to us after the court has entered to do the injunction preventing contact with the children. We work towards getting motion to dissolve granted, but it’s an uphill battle. Your children are worth it.
