Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If the marriage is salvageable, try to save it. If it is over, get a divorce.

Your son is "your son". The fact that he is adopted is irrelevant.

If dad doesn't financially support his son, then you can pursue child support. Child support can be pursued separately from divorce, but I generally do not recommend doing so.

How long have you been married?

What are the parties' comparative financial resources and incomes?

How old is the child?

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein

Definitely need more info. However, if you adopted this child - he is your child and you can ask for child support. Depending on the length of the marriage will determine whether you are entitled to any alimony and/or temporary support.
