We take the time to develop a close relationship and understand each client’s unique circumstances and legal needs. We pride ourselves on prompt, clear, and efficient communication. We want our clients to feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves – whether that means settling their cases, negotiating agreements, or going to trial.
Our Practice Areas
Divorce & Separation
Dissolutions of Marriage are highly emotional and can be highly complex. You will need to exchange financial disclosure and identify the issues in your marriage that need to be addressed.
We can help you identify, value, and distribute marital assets, segregate your non-marital assets, determine entitlement and amount of alimony and/or child support, develop a parenting plan if children are involved, and address other issues that may be unique to your family. Your divorce will either be finalized one of two ways: 1) by way of a Marital Settlement Agreement where you and your spouse agree on the terms, or 2) by a judge at a trial.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements, commonly called “prenups” are contracts entered into before a couple gets married. These contracts should include information on how the assets and
liabilities of each person (including pre-marital assets and liabilities and those acquired after the marriage) will be treated during the marriage and how they will be valued and distributed upon divorce or death. Prenups can also provide for alimony and include other unique terms and conditions.
Postnuptial Agreements
Postnuptial Agreements, commonly called “post-nups” are contracts entered into after a couple gets married. These contracts should include information on how the assets and
liabilities of each person (including pre-marital assets and liabilities and those acquired after marriage) will be treated during the marriage and how they will be valued and distributed upon divorce or death. Postnups can also provide for alimony and include other unique terms and conditions.
Paternity
Paternity or parenthood cases involve establishing parenthood and child support. This will involve creating a parenting plan which will include the rights and
responsibilities of each parent as well as a timesharing schedule detailing the overnights that the child will spend with each parent. Paternity cases must also establish child support, which should include consideration for health insurance and child case costs.
Enforcement
If you already have a final judgment of dissolution of marriage or a final judgment of paternity and one party is not compliant (by either not paying or not abiding by the terms of
the agreement or order), there are different ways to enforce compliance, including compelling the behavior, seeking contempt, and other alternatives.
Modifications
If you or your former spouse have experienced a substantial, material, unanticipated change of circumstances, you may be entitled to a modification of your support obligations.
Exploring your options, knowing your exposure, and understanding the possibilities are important in determining whether you should pursue modification of your support obligation.

What Our Clients Say
Jorge Fernandez2022-05-18Amanda is absolutely awesome. She took over my 10 year old and very complicated case and was able to renegotiate the agreement in a way that was extremely positive for me. She is incredibly patient and is a great listener and has a huge heart which reflects in the empathy she displays her clients.
Gustavo Avellar2021-11-10Amanda is a very competent, committed and smart lawyer.
Jacqueline Diaz2021-05-05When it comes to family law Amanda is very knowledgeable, but makes you feel very comfortable. She is professional and easy to work with. She is very organized and guides you through the process making it successful. I couldn't recommend her enough.
Lauren Gold2021-03-06Being confronted with having to seek legal counsel months prior to getting married (in the middle of COVID pandemic) seemed like an intimidating & daunting task until I was referred to Mrs.Tackenberg by a close friend of mine & I'm forever grateful to her for it. She described Amanda as "whip smart" and now I can personally attest to the fact that she is that & so much more. From day one during our initial consult to signing day, Amanda explained and guided me through what the entire pre-nuptial agreement process would entail and was always ahead of the game in terms of the tasks that followed. She remained completely transparent, providing updates whenever there were any revisions made or if there was anything newsworthy to report. I never felt intimidated nor embarrassed to ask questions regarding legal jargon that I was unfamiliar with, as she was always so friendly & willing to explain said terms or concepts with clarity, providing examples and possible scenarios whenever appropriate. Although I live in Jacksonville & Amanda and her Firm are located in Miami, communication always remained stellar via email, phone calls, and zoom meetings, so not only would I recommend Amanda to those located in the Miami area but also anywhere in the state of Florida. I couldn't have asked for a better, more qualified, pleasant, & professional advocate & Family Attorney to represent me. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for doing what's in her client's best interest are unmatched. I highly recommend her if you require representation for pre-nups, divorces, or any other family law-related reasons. Although I pray I do not need a Family Law Attorney in the future, I'm relieved to know I can turn to Amanda should the need arise.
Stacy T2021-02-26Amanda is personable and professional. I felt supported and informed during my legal needs. Amanda was responsive to my phone calls and emails to explain legal matters. I highly recommend her for counsel!
Alex Ringo2021-01-21Amanda was highly professional, efficient, resourceful, and a strong advocate. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made her a pleasure to work with.
