High-Conflict Divorce
A high-conflict divorce is one marked by ongoing hostility, repeated disputes, and an inability of the spouses to cooperate, often involving contested issues over time-sharing, support, or property. In Florida these cases are typically contested rather than uncontested, and may require mediation, parenting coordinators, or extended court involvement. Our firm handles uncontested divorces only; high-conflict matters generally need full litigation representation.
