Experienced Divorce Attorney in Bonita Springs
Divorce is hard — especially on children. It's important for everyone involved to remember that the children are not getting divorced — the adults in the family are.

In the Best Interests of Your Children
Divorce in Florida is "no fault." That means you do not have to prove that your partner did anything wrong in order to get divorced in Florida. The petition for the dissolution of marriage states that the marriage is "irretrievably broken."
If at all possible, you should try to move beyond fault as well so that you can concentrate on moving forward in a positive way. Carol Vlachos, P.C. knows how important it is for couples to work together during this stressful time. She works with families to focus on the issues that can be agreed on — including child custody and visitation, child support and spousal support or alimony — and quickly and fairly resolving those that cannot.
In Florida, mediation is mandatory. Attorney Vlachos has 20 successful years of experience in mediation and negotiation — important tools Attorney Vlachos uses when representing her clients in mediation to help them create an amicable solution.
It helps preserve assets and avoid the costs of going to trial. If it becomes necessary to go to court, attorney Vlachos will fight hard to protect your interests and the interests of your children.
Fair and Equitable Division of Assets
Divorces can get even more complicated when significant assets need to be divided, including:
- Family businesses and investments
- Luxury homes and vacation homes
- Retirement accounts, including 401(k)s and IRAs
- Deferred compensation
Attorney Vlachos focuses much of her practice on complex and high asset divorce. She has significant experience in property valuation and knows how to craft agreements that divide businesses and other properties equitably.
