Frequently Asked Questions

Questions
-
What Is Separate Property?
Answer
Separate property is typically any asset or debt acquired before a marriage, received as a gift, or inherited. Property may also be named as separate in a marital agreement. In cases where the classification of an asset is contested, it may become necessary to “trace” the source of said asset to prove it is truly separate property.
-
What If I have a Marital Agreement?
Answer
While a marital agreement can be a helpful tool in the case of a divorce, a signed document doesn’t guarantee its enforceability. There are numerous qualifications an agreement must meet to be upheld in court. If you have an existing agreement, it is highly recommended that you review its terms with an attorney from our firm.
-
What If My Spouse Is Hiding Assets?
Answer
The accurate reporting of property is a vital component in the distribution of property. However, a spouse may not always be playing by the rules. It is against the law to attempt to conceal or hide assets in a divorce and if you believe your spouse has done so, do not waste any time in contacting our legal team.

Andy Ingram
Attorney
A native of Central Florida, Andy Ingram is committed to providing every single one of his clients with top-notch representation. Prior to graduating high school, he earned his associate’s college degree. Then, in just three short years, he graduated with two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Florida. In 2005, he graduated from University of Florida's Levin College of Law and became a licensed attorney that very same year.
Shortly after his time as a public defender, Mr. Ingram focused his efforts on employment and labor law for many years. This unique experience enabled him to develop his skill set in discovery strategy and motion practice. He then worked at the Alachua County Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, combining his experience in civil practice and criminal defense. He is intimately familiar with both civil and criminal trial practice at the federal and state levels and has extensive federal trial experience.

Christopher L. Dunham
Attorney
As an Ocala native, Christopher Dunham is committed to providing individuals with high-quality legal representation. He attended Florida State University College of Law, where he earned his law degree, and then became a licensed attorney in 2007. Mr. Dunham started his career in law by working under State Attorney Brad King for the Fifth Judicial Circuit as a prosecutor. While he was there, he successfully handled 1,000s of felony and misdemeanor cases. Throughout his time prosecuting individuals, Mr. Dunham tried many cases for Florida, including numerous DUI trials.
Even though Mr. Dunham is currently focused on family law and criminal defense cases, he, above all, considers himself a trial lawyer. He firmly believes that the real work of a lawyer is not conducted behind a desk but, rather, in the courtroom. As a result of this belief, he chooses his cases based on his clients’ need for proven and strong trial strategy, instead of the circumstances and laws involved.
