Unique Family Law Issues for Unwed Parents

Federal researchers reported that there were 4,317,119 births in 2007 which topped a record first set in 1957 at the height of the baby boom.

Additionally births to unwed mothers reached an all-time high of about 40 percent. More than three-quarters of these women were 20 or older.

Unwed parents face a host of family law issues upon the birth of a child. Often the mother needs child support from the father and fathers often have to prove their paternity to be able to seek visitation with their child.

Insurance Greed Attempting to Crush Working Families

The Insurance industry is attempting to unfairly stack the deck against a person hurt on the job through no fault of their own. Last fall the Florida Supreme Court addressed a provision of the workers compensation law that limited attorney fees earned through representation of people wrongfully denied medical care and benefits. The court stated that the attorney that battled the Insurance industry and won was entitled to recover a reasonable fee, in other words fair payment for work done.

The legislature led by Miami Representative Flores now wants to take away the reasonableness language of the law and is therefore creating an unreasonable situation for the injured workers of this state. Buoyed by Insurance dollars Rep Flores is carrying the flag of insurance greed and self gain on the backs of people that work hard for their families everyday. Luckily Flores stands little chance of suffering the same plight as his constituents who are injured since his activities provide little to no risk for a work related injury but high probability of self gain through Insurance contributions. See the Miami Herald regarding the full story http://www.miamiherald.com/news/southflorida/story/955240.html

Alimony Reduction

Recently the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled that when a former husband seeks to reduce or terminate alimony, once the trier of fact has made a finding that a supportive relationship exists, the court “must by necessity either reduce or terminate alimony.”

This is pursuant to Florida law which permits reduction or termination of alimony when the receiver of alimony cohabits in a supportive relationship with another.
