Experienced Florida Divorce LawyersFlorida DivorceFlorida is a "no-fault divorce" state, which indicates that either party in a marriage can file for divorce at any time without the necessity of alleging whose fault it is that the marriage did not work out. In Florida, a party can initiate a divorce proceeding against their spouse as long as they have been a resident of the state for at least six (6) months, and by alleging that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." However, in some instances, fault may be a factor considered when making specific determinations within a divorce proceeding. For example, the Court may consider a spouse's infidelity when making an alimony determination or a spouse's alcohol dependency when assessing who is the more stable parent to have custody of the children.
