Case Study: Because legal issues rarely stand their own

A client of ours, a retired Air Force officer, came to the office needing advice on a divorce.  

While speaking with the attorney, he discovered that he was potentially eligible for veterans disability benefits.  

Because Brandon Legal Group covers several areas of law, we were able to offer additional legal advice to the client. 

Other firms that practice in only one area, may not have been aware of his veterans benefit potential.

Once the divorce concluded, our client needed to have his will revised. Brandon Legal Group was able to assist with this as well.

All his legal needs were served at one location – Brandon Legal Group, PllC.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • image/svg+xmlimage/svg+xml
    Is Divorce Court a Requirement?

    Possibly. Some courts will divorce parties without a hearing if a settlement is agreed upon. Some courts need a brief, uncontested hearing with just the petitioner. If you can’t agree, you’ll need a court hearing. Court can be expensive, especially if one side is granted the other’s attorney’s costs. “On the courthouse steps” agreements are common. The cost of going to court shouldn’t determine whether to settle or go to court.

    Can the Custodial Parent Deny Visitation?

    Your children have a right to be loved by and spend time with both parents. Even if your kids say they don’t want to see their noncustodial parent, you can’t deny visitation. You can’t deny visitation because you dislike your ex. You can ask the court to amend your divorce’s visitation conditions if you believe your ex-spouse is harmful to your children. A divorce attorney can help.

    Will I Get Alimony?

    The criteria for alimony include the list below, however, no two situations are the same. You will probably require legal assistance to evaluate how your specific case may affect alimony eligibility.

Debunking Florida Family Law Myths

Adulterers lose divorce cases.

This is no longer the case.  Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning that one of the parties only needs to believe the marriage is irretrievably broken in order to file for divorce.  “Fault” does not enter into the equation.

Kids choose which parent they live with.

Children, especially young children, are not mature enough to decide which parent they should be with, in the eyes of the court. The reasonable preference of the child (especially older children) is one of many factors that the courts must consider in deciding timesharing. The number one factor, is always, “What is in the best interest of the children”.

 “First to file” has the advantage.

 

Who files for the divorce first has no bearing on the outcome of the divorce.  Filing does have advantages, especially for the disadvantaged spouse.  Until you file, there is no ability to petition for temporary relief for attorney fees, temporary child support, spousal support, etc.

Ingrid

Ingrid Hooglander

In 2008 after gaining years of experience under the watchful eyes of her predecessors, Ms. Hooglander opened her own private practice that has grown into what Brandon Legal Group is today.

Her weight lifting and Kick Boxing training contribute to a reputation as a "force of nature" in both her personal life and her presence in the court room.

Luke

Luke Mattson

Mr. Mattson found his niche in family law and has focused his practice in that area since 2000. In particular, Luke often handles matters involving divorce, timesharing, parenting plans, child support, alimony, paternity, and civil domestic violence.

Mr. Mattson might look like he’s all business, but you'd be surprised to discover the incredible fun loving attitude he brings to the practice. When outside the courtroom, Mr. Mattson can often be found watching Lightning games or riding his bike around downtown Tampa.

Their service for our family is simply priceless. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a family law attorney.
