Child Custody
The well-being of your children during custodial litigation is paramount. Our Destin family law attorneys work tirelessly to craft parenting plans and time-sharing schedules that prioritize your child’s best interests.

Child Support
Ensuring fair and accurate child support arrangements is essential for your child’s well-being. At Hand Arendall Harrison Sale, we help clients navigate Florida’s child support guidelines, ensuring that calculations account for income, expenses, and the child’s needs. Whether you seek to establish, modify, or enforce child support orders, our attorneys provide personalized and effective representation to secure the best outcomes for your family.
Adoption
Building families through adoption is one of the most rewarding areas of family law. We assist with stepparent adoptions, relative adoptions, LGBTQ+ adoptions, and adult adoptions. If you need help with adoption our firm ensures the process is seamless and compliant with Florida law.
Domestic Violence and Protection
Protecting you and your family from harm is our top priority. We provide robust representation in cases involving domestic violence injunctions, stalking injunctions, dating violence injunctions, and repeat violence injunctions.
