Divorce and family disputes are some of the most personal legal matters you’ll ever face. Attorney Patrick Thompson provides clear guidance and steady representation for families throughout Lake Mary, Sanford, and Central Florida — helping you protect your children, your assets, and your peace of mind.
A typical family law client is someone trying to protect what matters most — their assets, their relationship with their children, their safety — while balancing the emotional difficulty of the process with the need to protect their legal rights. Every case is personal, not just legal, and we bring extreme care to each one.
Divorce
Whether your divorce is uncontested or highly contested, we help you reach a fair resolution on property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without unnecessary conflict or cost. We also handle high-asset and military divorce, and can prepare prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Learn more about Divorce →
Child Custody, Time-Sharing & Paternity
Florida courts decide custody — referred to as “time-sharing” under Florida law — based on the best interests of the child. Our approach starts from a presumption of 50/50 time-sharing, while always keeping the best interests of the child paramount. We also handle parental relocation and paternity matters.

Child Support
We help calculate, negotiate, and, when circumstances change, modify child support obligations under Florida’s child support guidelines, so support orders reflect what’s fair and accurate for your family. Learn more about Child Support →
Domestic Violence & Protective Injunctions
We represent both petitioners and respondents in domestic violence and stalking injunction cases, and can move quickly — typically within 24 hours of your call, if you’re local — to get an emergency injunction filed. Learn more about Protective Injunctions →
Modifications & Enforcement
When circumstances change, we help modify custody and time-sharing arrangements, child support, and alimony. We also handle contempt and enforcement actions when a former spouse or co-parent isn’t complying with a court order. Learn more about Modifications & Enforcement →

Losing a loved one is hard enough without the added burden of navigating Florida’s probate court system. We help personal representatives, executors, and families throughout Seminole and Orange Counties settle estates efficiently and correctly. Learn more about Probate →
