Just For This Day

Just for this morning, I am going to smile whenever I see your face.
And laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly all rumpled in your pajamas,
and hold you close until you are ready for the day

Just for this morning,
I will let you choose what you want to wear,
and smile and tell you that you're beautiful

Just for this morning,
I am going to step over the laundry,
and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning,
I will leave the dishes in the sink
and let you help me put that 100 piece puzzle together.

Just for this afternoon,
I will unplug the television and turn off the computer
and sit with you in the garden, blowing bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once,
not even a tiny grumble
when you scream and whine for ice cream.
And I will buy you one, if the ice cream man comes by.

Just for this afternoon,
I wont worry about what you are going to be when you grow up,
or what the future might bring.

Just for this afternoon,
I will let you help me bake cookies, and I wont stand over you
trying to 'fix' things.

Just for this afternoon,
I will take you to McDonalds,
and buy us both a happy meal, so you can have two toys.

Just for this evening,
I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story
about when you were born and how much we love you.

Just for this evening,
I will let you splash in the tub,
and not get angry when water spills all over my nice clean floor.

Just for this evening,
I will let you stay up late, while we sit on the porch swing
and count all the stars.

Just for this evening,
I will bring you a million glasses of water,
and snuggle beside you and miss my favorite TV show.

Just for this evening, when I kneel down to pray
I will simply be grateful for all that I have
and not ask for anything, except...

Just one more day.

(For Dhylan)

What will happen to the children? Where will they live? Will I ever get to see them again? These are just some of the many questions and concerns divorcing parents face.

We can help you answer those questions.

Florida law does not presume that either parent should be given custody of the children. The best interest of the child is the primary consideration of Florida courts in matters of child custody and visitation.

We have nearly five decades of experience representing clients in matters of child custody, visitation, and support. Please contact us today for a free initial consultation about your specific legal issues.

Florida law seeks to assure that each minor child receives frequent and continuing contact with both parents after the parents have separated or divorced. State law encourages parents to share the rights and responsibilities of child rearing. The father is given the same consideration as the mother in determining custody regardless of their child’s age, sex, or other factors.

We will listen carefully to your concerns and carefully explain your legal options. We will aggressively represent your interests throughout the legal process. While we cannot guarantee a specific legal outcome, we can assure you that no one will work harder to achieve the desired result.

We are strong negotiators who always attempt first to resolve matters out of court. However, should the other party be unwilling to come to a reasonable arrangement, we are not afraid of taking your case to court.

We can also help you modify previously established child support, custody, and visitation arrangements.
