Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce In Florida

Are you preparing for your divorce? You may have questions for our divorce attorneys. Here are some quick answers to common concerns:

How should I plan for divorce?

Start by gathering your financial records, including copies of any premarital or postnuptial agreements, bank records, credit card statements, tax records, titles, deeds and insurance policies. You should also formulate a tentative plan regarding your living arrangements, budget (including how to pay for the divorce itself) and – if applicable – about child custody and visitation. Finally, seek the guidance of a divorce attorney so that you can better understand your rights and obligations.

I was served with divorce papers. Now what?

You may be surprised to find that your spouse wants a divorce. Taking no action could be detrimental to your future. Talk to a divorce attorney to review the terms of the divorce documents and assess your legal options. Our divorce attorneys can help you file the necessary legal documents in response to your spouse’s petition and represent your interests in court.

What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?

Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state, which means that spouses do not have to have a reason for a divorce. Alternatively, a divorce can be filed on the grounds of irreconcilable differences or mental illness. However, Florida does have a residency requirement; one party must live in the state for at least six months before they can file for a divorce.

How long does the divorce process usually take?

Many people do not want prolonged divorces. However, every divorce is unique. What might be a quick divorce for one person, lasting only a few weeks, may last over a year for another. Several factors can determine how long a divorce may take.

One factor to consider is the size of the marital estate. Larger marital estates often take longer to itemize, value and distribute fairly. Another factor that can affect the divorce process is whether parties can negotiate the terms of the divorce. Parties that can agree on all divorce matters (asset division, child custody, child support, alimony, etc.) can reach a settlement without going to court. Disputes about any divorce matters often mean going to court, which can be time-consuming and expensive.

Our divorce attorneys can help you speed up the divorce process by facilitating negotiations privately or in court.
