Civil Litigation

Resolving Family Disputes Through Legal Action

Family law matters often bring about sensitive and complex disputes that cannot always be resolved through negotiation or mediation. In these cases, civil litigation may be necessary to ensure that the rights and interests of all parties involved are protected. At BCN Law Firm, we specialize in family law civil litigation, providing experienced legal representation to help clients resolve contentious issues such as divorce, child custody, support disputes, and property division in court.

Central Florida Family Law Civil Litigation Attorneys

Civil litigation in the context of family law refers to the process of resolving family-related disputes in court. Unlike mediation or negotiation, which involve collaborative efforts to reach an agreement, civil litigation involves formal legal proceedings where a judge determines the outcome. Common family law issues that may lead to civil litigation include contested divorces, custody battles, disputes over child or spousal support, and conflicts over property division.

Our attorneys at BCN Law Firm are experienced in representing clients in family law litigation, ensuring that your rights are upheld, and your interests are protected throughout the process.

Common Family Law Issues Involving Civil Litigation

Family law disputes can be emotionally charged and legally complex. At BCN Law Firm, we handle a wide range of family law issues that may require civil litigation, including:

Contested Divorce: When couples cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, including asset division, spousal support, or child custody, civil litigation may be necessary to resolve the conflict. Our attorneys represent clients in contested divorce cases, ensuring that their rights are protected and that a fair resolution is achieved.
Child Custody Disputes: Child custody disputes can be some of the most challenging family law matters. If parents cannot agree on custody or visitation arrangements, a judge may need to make a decision in the child’s best interest. We advocate for our clients’ parental rights and work to secure a favorable custody arrangement.
Child and Spousal Support Disputes: Disagreements over child or spousal support can lead to civil litigation. Whether you are seeking support or defending against a support claim, our attorneys work to ensure that support orders are fair and reflect the financial realities of both parties.
Property Division: In high-asset divorces or situations where property division is contested, civil litigation may be necessary to ensure that assets are divided equitably. We represent clients in property division disputes, ensuring that their financial interests are protected.
Paternity Disputes: When the legal parentage of a child is in question, civil litigation may be required to establish or dispute paternity. We represent clients in paternity cases, ensuring that parental rights and obligations are properly determined.

BCN was a God send. Although I’m married, my husband did not file. We had to go through the means test which was stressful but Ms. Carol handled it efficiently and with kindness. I never was made to feel bad for filing for bankruptcy. I was again nervous when it came time for my meeting of the creditors but again, Ms. Carol was so incredibly supportive. I should also mention that BCN is a well seasoned law firm and should you find yourself in need of their services, you will not regret your decision.

We were recently in an accident and needed an attorney. A good friend referred us to Travis Stulz and the BCN team. Travis and his Paralegal Sandy Patercsak were absolutely amazing. We felt they were very responsive and genuinely cared about us and how we were doing after the accident. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great attorney who really cares about their clients.

We have now used BCN Law Firm on two separate occasions and each time we dealt with Carol Crowe and neither time did she disappoint. Always friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly available everytime we reached out. Also a special thanks to Isabel Freeman who was also very helpful. If you need any type of legal advice or assistance, I would not hesitate to reach out to BCN law firm.

I cannot say enough good things about Travis and his team and the way they handled my case. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and understood everything that was happening. They were professional, compassionate, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another case or a number. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and keep me informed throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how hard they worked on my behalf. They went the extra mile when they didn’t have to, fought for what was right, and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. If you are looking for an accident attorney who truly cares about their clients and is willing to go above and beyond, I highly recommend Travis. I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me and would absolutely trust them again.
