The Divorce Center

A History of Our Firm

The Divorce Center was conceived and started by Attorney Howard Iken.  The official start date of our firm was May 1, 2005. On that date we opened our doors in a building near the courthouse in New Port Richey, Fl.  People visiting the office noticed one very odd thing - The Divorce Center office appeared to have room and desks for many different people. But there was only one occupant: Attorney Howard Iken. Asked what he was going to do with the space, Mr. Iken replied: "I am going to fill this office with people and eventually help people all over the State of Florida with divorce and custody problems.

Over the next four years, the vision of our founder has taken shape. The Divorce Center opened up an office in the New Tampa area just one year later. Attorney Jonathan joined us and became our key person in New Tampa.   We also opened up an office in Clearwater. Kristal Knox recently joined us to help provide adequate coverage in all of our offices.

 The additional attorneys will  help spearhead our expansion in the Clearwater and St Petersburg areas.

In the beginning of 2009, we were proud to announce the acquisition of a new building in the Hyde Park area of South Tampa. This building would be home to two of our attorneys and one paralegal. Staff was redistributed and New Port Richey became a major hub, with two attorneys and two paralegals. The Clearwater office and New Tampa offices were redesigned to accommodate local clients as-needed. An we laid plans for further expansion - responding to the needs of clients throughout Tampa Bay and the State of Florida.

Fast forward to Fall, 2009. The Divorce Center has begun to service clients in Manatee County and is in the initial planning stage of offices in Orlando (Orange County) and Kissimmee (Osceola County) Florida.  A Miami branch will soon follow.  We are also excited to announce El Centro Divorcio - a spanish version of The Divorce Center - run by Attorney Alberto Ayo.

Through outreach to the community The Divorce Center continues it's expansion throughout the State of Florida. Our slogan is "Knowledge is Power."  We put this principle in practice through our several hundred page website, free informative seminars, and our question and answer forum.  We are excited to provide this critical and needed service to clients in the State of Florida.
