Contested Divorce Lawyer in Sarasota

When spouses cannot agree on key issues such as property division, child custody, or spousal support, a divorce can quickly become contested. These disputes raise difficult questions that include: 

• Who will remain in the family home or will it be sold? 
• How will parenting schedules be structured? 
• Will one party owe ongoing financial support, and if so, how much? 

Without clear legal guidance from a lawyer, disagreements can spiral into drawn-out battles that drain your resources and create lasting tension.

With almost 20 years of experience practicing family law in the Sarasota area, Alpert Law provides a steady framework for managing these disputes. Our firm’s values are built on clarity, practicality, and compassion. 

We work to resolve matters efficiently through negotiation, keeping in mind the emotional and financial toll that prolonged conflict can cause. If courtroom advocacy becomes necessary, however, we are fully prepared to represent our clients’ interests with skill. By delivering straightforward advice and steady support, we help families make sound decisions about their future.

In contested divorces, some families benefit from high-conflict mediation, where a neutral third party guides negotiations and helps preserve your decision-making power. Others may need litigation to secure enforceable results when cooperation fails. You can count on us to properly assess your circumstances and recommend the most effective path forward.

Preparing for Trial: How We Build a Winning Evidentiary Case

When a contested divorce cannot be resolved outside of court, thorough trial preparation becomes imperative. Clients often worry about what lies ahead, but our systematic approach is designed to build your case with strength and precision.

Gathering Evidence

The foundation of a strong case is documentation. We collect financial records, property valuations, custody evaluations, and other critical evidence to present an accurate and compelling picture to the court.
