If you are an active duty service member, Congress has granted you with certain rule exemptions in court matters. You should not lose a court case just because you’re overseas or otherwise unable to attend court because of your military service. This is due to the Service Member’s Civil Relief Act.

One court in Kentucky, however, apparently did not get the memo that military service members should be given some leeway. In that case, a woman filed suit against her former husband for failure to pay child support. The husband wrote to the court, claiming that he had no attorney and needed the hearings to be scheduled at times that would allow him to appear by phone. Instead, the court went ahead with the proceeding without the husband’s presence.

The wife later filed to hold the husband — who was unable to attend — in contempt for not complying with the previous order. The husband again asked the court to hold off and specifically mentioned the Service Member’s Civil Relief Act. The court again ignored his plea and required him to pay his ex-wife’s attorney fees.

An issue facing same-sex parents is what rights the non-biological and non-adoptive parent has with respect to their children.

Like many couples, same-sex and heterosexual, whose relationship ends, the children are the focus of the split, and not necessarily in a good way. Child custody and visitation issues become contentious. As time evolves, so does societal perception of what makes a good parent. However when faced with a parenting conflict, it is advisable to contact an attorney who deals with the unique concerns facing those in the LGBT community.

A new set of guidelines have been published that will assist the non-legal parent should the biological or adoptive parent use anti-LGBT laws to attempt to deny visitation and/or custody.

As a Jacksonville Family Law Attorney, it is expected that, on a daily basis, I see family members disputing. Usually these disputes are over matters such as divorce, child custody, and domestic violence, which all have the effect of tearing apart the family unit. Along with that, a matter that most people do not consider that is detrimental to a family, is money and personal property. This is why it is essential that everyone have a will or some other form of estate planning.

Being a Florida Family Law Attorney, I have heard horrific stories about family members fighting over the deceased person’s money or personal property so badly that those family members never speak again. By having a will or estate plan, you can be the one who decides which family member gets what, so that it is not left to them to fight over. You should contact a Jacksonville Family Law Lawyer or Estate Planning Attorney to discuss the options you can take to prevent your family from tearing itself apart.

Many Florida divorce attorneys refer to the first Monday of the New Year as “divorce day.” Why is this you may ask? Well for many married couples the New Year means new beginnings and for some couples it means time to split from their spouse and file for divorce.

The first Monday of the New Year is the day some married couples contact divorce attorneys to get a new start and a new lease on life.

There are a few reasons for this:

A Department of Health and Human Services regulation will prohibit hospitals receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding from discriminatory visitation rules, beginning in 2011. The rule will prohibit discrimination in visitation policies based on one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Florida hospitals often bar visitors who are not related to a patient. Although there may be new rules, it is still advisable to consult with a St. Augustine Family Law Firm and prepare a hospital or health care visitation authorization document. This will give you written evidence of whom you want to visit you, and who can make health care decisions on your behalf, in the event of your incapacity.

Make sure you and your lesbian and gay partner living in St. Augustine or Jacksonville are protected in the event of future illness or injury, by talking with a Gay and Lesbian Family Law Attorney, about legal documents such as a Designation of Agent for Health Care Visitation and Designation of Health Care Surrogate. These documents will preserve your wishes in the event you are unable to express them at the time they are needed.
