Downyok & Downyok, P.A. guides individuals and families in Venice, North Port, and throughout Sarasota County, Florida, on divorce, child custody, support, adoption, and other challenging transitions. Backed by 30 years of combined experience, we will help you explore your options and set realistic outcomes for your situation. Many clients come to us after struggling with poor communication or unclear advice elsewhere. Above all, we provide straight answers, responsive service, and practical guidance when family disputes cannot be resolved at home.
Family law decisions can affect your finances, home, and family relationships. Not every case has a simple solution, and you deserve honest information from the start.
Clients choose our firm because:
- We provide direct, realistic guidance about what Florida family law allows and what outcomes may be achievable
- We offer small-firm attention, with clients working directly with their attorney throughout the case
- We are responsive and accessible, particularly for clients who felt overlooked by prior counsel
- We regularly represent clients in Venice, North Port, and Sarasota County cases
Above all, we take a sensible, common-sense approach to family law. You can depend on us to help you make informed decisions, not to promise outcomes that we cannot deliver.
We handle a wide range of family law matters and tailor our approach to your priorities, family structure, and financial situation.
We assist with contested and uncontested divorces, including property division and financial issues. Many of our cases involve long-term marriages and later-life transitions, where decisions about housing, income, and future planning carry lasting effects.
We help parents establish and modify parenting plans that reflect real schedules and family needs. Our Venice child custody lawyers create arrangements that prioritize the children’s well-being while remaining workable for parents.
We represent clients in establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders in the Sarasota County courts. This includes cases involving job changes, retirements, or other income shifts.
We assist with establishing or contesting paternity and addressing parental rights and responsibilities. These cases often shape long-term family relationships and require careful attention.
We help families throughout Venice and North Port with step-parent and relative adoptions and explain each step of the court process so you know what to expect.
We represent both petitioners and respondents in injunction proceedings. These matters move quickly and can affect housing, parenting time, and daily life, making informed legal guidance critical.
