Segarra & Associates, P.A., with offices in Coral Gables and Orlando, outlines procedural updates in Florida divorce proceedings.
Manuel A. Segarra III, founding attorney and a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, explains how the October 1, 2025, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure require early financial disclosures within 45 days of service (Rule 12.285), unless waived by stipulation or altered by court order, and authorize case management and pretrial conferences (Rule 12.200) to keep cases moving. The firm’s attorneys guide clients through each step of the process.
Segarra & Associates, P.A. provides comprehensive divorce representation, including contested, uncontested, and simplified divorces, military divorces, and related matters such as support, time-sharing, and equitable distribution. The firm handles matters from straightforward to complex and guides clients from filing through final judgment.
Prior to his private practice, Attorney Manuel A. Segarra, III served as a prosecutor and worked at the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office for more than eight years. While working there, he focused his career primarily on the prosecution of domestic violence cases, including the prosecution of homicide, attempted homicide, child abuse as well as sexual battery cases.
Parenting issues are often central to divorce. Segarra & Associates, P.A. helps clients prepare and file petitions. In contested matters, the firm develops comprehensive strategies, including detailed parenting plans and time-sharing proposals that protect client interests while promoting workable, child-focused arrangements (and favors joint parenting where safety is not a concern). They address temporary relief—child support, alimony, legal fees, and exclusive use and possession of the marital home—until a final judgment is entered. These measures help protect clients and children during the case.
Founded in 2008, Segarra & Associates, P.A. represents clients across Florida’s family courts and focuses on diligent case management in family law with offices in Coral Gables and Orlando.

Segarra & Associates, P.A. offers post-divorce legal services, including modification actions for substantial life changes. These changes could include remarriage, a job transfer, or changes in financial circumstances that influence child support, alimony, or parenting plans including relocation cases. The company works closely with clients to draft and file supplemental petitions that appropriately reflect their new position while being compliant with Florida Family Law Rules and in the best interests of the children involved. In many circumstances, post-divorce modifications are required to provide justice and stability for both parties.
