Practice Areas
Long Law, PLLC focuses exclusively on marital and family law. The overview below covers the matters Rebecca handles; your consultation is where we talk through the specifics of your situation.
Florida is a no-fault state, so you do not have to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. The firm handles uncontested, contested, and collaborative divorce — including division of assets and debts, support, and parenting matters. Even amicable, uncontested divorces should be done right: properly drafted, enforceable agreements that comply with Florida law. Learn more →
Complex marital estates — closely held businesses, real estate portfolios, executive compensation and stock options, retirement and deferred compensation, and hidden or disputed assets. Strategic equitable distribution supported by business valuations and forensic accounting to identify and fairly divide what is marital.
When disputes run deep, representation stays focused on protecting your finances and your children — supported, where appropriate, by guardians ad litem, mediators, reunification therapists, and financial experts.
The added layers of a military divorce: SCRA protections, division of military retired pay, TRICARE and benefits, and jurisdiction questions that arise with deployment.
Florida uses parenting plans and time-sharing schedules decided on the best interests of the child. The firm helps you build, negotiate, or modify a workable plan, including high-conflict custody matters.
Child support is set by Florida’s statutory guidelines based on both parents’ incomes and the time-sharing arrangement. Help is available to establish, calculate, or modify support.
Bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, and lump-sum alimony — whether you may pay or receive. Strategic presentation of income, lifestyle, and earning capacity, plus modification and enforcement when circumstances change.
For unmarried parents, a paternity action establishes legal parentage and opens the door to time-sharing, parental responsibility, and support — protecting both parents’ rights and the child’s stability.
Modifying a parenting plan requires a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances, and a showing that the change serves the child’s best interests. Relocation (more than 50 miles for 60+ days) requires the other parent’s written agreement or court approval.
A core focus of the firm. When a former spouse or co-parent ignores a final order, the court can compel compliance through contempt and enforcement. When circumstances change substantially — income, schedules, relocation, a child’s needs — support, alimony, or time-sharing can be modified. (This is distinct from an appeal: it works with a final order rather than challenging whether it was correct.) Learn more →
Protective orders — domestic, repeat, dating, and sexual violence, and stalking. Representation for petitioners seeking protection and for respondents defending against an injunction, including its impact on custody, housing, employment, and firearm rights.
Clear, enforceable agreements that protect premarital property, business interests, and family wealth — drafted with full financial disclosure, and evaluated or challenged where enforceability is in question.
That is exactly what a consultation is for.
