Family Law Services Focused on Protecting Your Rights and Your Future

 

At the Law Office of Paul Phipps, we provide experienced legal representation for individuals and families facing divorce, custody, support, and other family law matters throughout Tampa and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to give you clear guidance, realistic expectations, and strong advocacy at every stage of your case.

DIVORCE

Divorce Representation in Tampa and Surrounding Counties

​

Divorce involves more than ending a marriage, it often includes decisions about property division, alimony, child custody, and child support. We help clients navigate every part of the divorce process, including:

  • Division of marital assets and debts (equitable distribution)

  • Spousal support (alimony)

  • Parenting plans and time-sharing schedules

  • Child support calculations and enforcement

  • High-conflict and contested divorce cases

Our focus is on protecting your financial stability and your relationship with your children while helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.

PATERNITY

Establishing Legal Rights and Responsibilities

​

When parents are not married, legal paternity must be established before the court can address custody, support, and parental responsibility.

We assist with:

  • Establishing paternity through court or acknowledgment

  • DNA testing when paternity is disputed

  • Establishing time-sharing and parental responsibility

  • Child support orders connected to paternity cases

Establishing paternity protects both parents and gives children access to important legal and financial rights.

Modifications and Enforcement

When Court Orders Are Not Being Followed or Circumstances Change

Life changes, jobs, income, health, and children’s needs can all evolve over time. We help clients seek appropriate legal relief when:

  • Child support or alimony is not being paid

  • Parenting plans are not being followed

  • A substantial change in circumstances justifies modification

  • Contempt or enforcement actions are necessary

We work to hold parties accountable while pursuing practical solutions whenever possible.
