Experienced Florida Divorce Lawyers

Florida Divorce

Florida 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.  

Negotiate or Litigate?

Divorce cases can be extremely contentious. When the parties are unable to reach an amicable resolution, it may be necessary to allow the judge to decide your case at trial. If it becomes necessary to litigate your divorce case, our attorneys are experienced in trial procedure and proceedings and will aggressively represent your rights in court.
