Divorce

Florida has jurisdiction over a dissolution of marriage if one party has been a resident of Florida for at least six (6) months. Florida does not have legal separations and you are not required to be separated prior to filing a dissolution of marriage.

 

Uncontested Divorce


An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which both parties have resolved every issue including but not limited to: the parenting plan, equitable distribution of assets and debts, alimony and attorneys fees. An uncontested divorce can be accomplished in as little as twenty five days.

 

Contested Divorce


A contested divorce is a divorce in which both parties have not resolved all of the issues of the case. Even if both parties want a divorce, if the parties cannot resolve ALL issues the divorce is still contested.

 

No Fault Divorce


Florida is a no fault state which means that if one party desires to be divorced even if the other party does not want a divorce, a divorce will be granted. Testimony is required by the party seeking divorce that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
