Family Law

Minimizing the Destructive Impact of Family Law Disputes

Small business is often family business. At the Tallahassee law office of Williams & Jacobs, we understand that family law disputes can threaten not only your relationship with your spouse and children but also the ability to operate your business effectively.

The philosophy of our practice is to approach the legal issues of business and family as if they were one and the same. This has the effect of creating harmony in your personal life, which in turn creates harmony for you and your business. Call 850-222-1246 or contact us online to schedule an appointment with an experienced Leon County attorney.

Keeping Families Together, Even in Divorce

In a family-owned business, the continued success of the business is intricately tied to the health of the family. Contested divorce can lead to failure of the business. With that in mind, we work with marriage and financial counselors to help our clients make the best decisions possible under the circumstances.

We try to resolve related business problems at the same time that we represent you in a divorce or legal separation. We want you to educate yourself and be aware of whether and how much your spouse knows about the business and household finances, as well as whether you and your spouse can collaborate on financial decisions. These and other considerations are extremely important in resolving your legal problem in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Preserving the Family Business

We are available to represent you in divorce and all related proceedings, including:

  • Preservation of the family-owned business 
  • Business valuation
  • Asset division
  • Prenuptial agreements
  • Postnuptial agreements
  • Contested divorce
  • Uncontested divorce
  • Defense of non-custodial parents in child support and spousal support cases
  • Separation agreements
  • Foreclosure defense
  • Creditor harassment

Contact us by e-mail or call 850-222-1246 to discuss your situation with an experienced family lawyer. We are available to the public in our Tallahassee between 1 and 5 pm, and we are happy to make an appointment to meet with you anytime, day or night. Our office is located directly south and within one mile of the state capitol. We accept translation services for non-English speaking clients.
