Divorce
At Burke Blue, we understand the importance of reaching positive resolutions to the challenges divorce and family law matters can present. We achieve this through our attention to detail regarding the individual facts and circumstances of each case.
Child Support
The Florida legislature has instituted guidelines to determine parents’ child support obligations. The factors involved include the income of both spouses, the parties’ timesharing (custody) arrangement, daycare expenses and healthcare expenses. Judges may sometimes deviate from these guidelines in certain circumstances.
Child Custody and Visitation
Jessica Lynn Stewart is an associate with Burke Blue and joined the firm in 2019. Ms. Stewart is an experienced litigator of divorce and paternity litigation involving issues such as child custody and support, alimony, asset and liability distribution and child relocation.

Prior to joining Burke Blue, Jessica practiced (at 3 different private law firms in Okaloosa, Walton and Bay Counties) and has experience handling cases in Bay, Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Jackson and Leon Counties in Florida.

Guardianship
Joy Marler Masters is a Shareholder in the firm who focuses her practice on Estate Planning, Probate, Business Law (including Business Entity Formation), Estate Tax Law, Guardianship, and Real Estate Transactions.

She also assists clients by representing them in Florida domiciliary and ancillary probate administrations and Florida trust administrations.
Spousal Support
When determining whether to award one spouse alimony from the other, the Court considers both parties’ ability to maintain a standard of living similar to the standards established during the marriage. In other words, does one spouse have a need for alimony, and does the other spouse have the ability to provide it? The court will consider several factors in determining if alimony should be awarded, including whether one spouse put their career on hold to act as a homemaker, the respective incomes of both parties, and each spouses’ earning potential.

Government entities must comply with strict legal standards when exercising their eminent domain powers and must provide owners with just compensation for their losses.

Wills
The essential element of every estate plan should be the Last Will and Testament or a Will. Everyone over the age of 18 needs a Will. A Will is a legal document that gives instruction on how to convey or pass a person’s property after that person dies. Wills can vary greatly in complexity depending on the size of the estate, the number of beneficiaries and the specificity of the instructions. But all Wills must conform to certain legal standards and should contain certain essential provisions. The Estate Planning attorneys of Burke Blue have the experience and knowledge to ascertain a client’s specific needs and then draft Wills accordingly.

She served as a Grade Appeals Magistrate, participated in the Client Counseling competition and was the Resource Editor/Board Member for the Western Michigan Cooley Journal of Practical & Clinical Law.
Power of Attorney
A good estate plan is comprised of many parts. These can include a will, one or more trusts, a durable power of attorney, a healthcare surrogate and a living will (often called an advance healthcare directive). While not every one of these may be necessary in all estate plans, effectively utilizing these tools when necessary allows the client to effectively convey their final wishes and allows their families and loved ones to receive the maximum benefits of their estates.
