Florida- What type of an attorney do I need for partnership structure?

[Coreen Foote]

Hello, everyone, I would like to speak with an attorney about my options to set up a partnership but I’m unsure about what type of attorney I will need for each potential situation. Many attorneys charge a consultation fee that will be credited to my bill if I continue to work with them but I don’t want to pay for various consultation fees unless I know for sure that I have contacted the correct attorney. These are some options that I am considering.

1) Getting an LLC and a Joint Venture agreement to partner with a long time friend of mine but somehow separate our business from our individual marriages? Where if we use our own personal funds (not funds acquired from our spouses or from our marriages) our business would be strictly ours and our spouses have no claim to it should one of us ever divorce from our spouse.

2) Invest with my husband using the equity from our home but I want to have a business structure that is separate from the marriage where we are both partners and we are paid for our individual contributions to the business.

What type of business partnership could I have with my husband that can be setup in that way? Could a business attorney assist with that alone or do I also need a family attorney or real estate attorney in these scenarios?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
