A Brief Overview of Divorce Law

Divorce Law FAQ
Our office will handle all of the paperwork and filing for you. When you meet with our divorce attorneys, we’ll provide you with guidance based on your unique needs.
While you can certainly represent yourself in divorce proceedings, most people are encouraged to retain the services of an attorney instead. Your attorney can represent your interests while you focus on this challenging and emotional time.
In some states, legal separation is a designation given to couples living apart who may intend to divorce. Florida does not recognize legal separation, but it does recognize the legal dissolution of marriages via divorce.
In many cases, the shared property is split upon marriage dissolution in Florida. Any shared marital property, or property that was acquired by either spouse during the marriage, is divided 50/50.
There may be factors affecting this split in cases of inequitable distribution. Your attorney can help you navigate the best path forward.
Under Florida law, only one spouse is required to initiate the dissolution of a marriage. You may be granted an uncontested divorce in Florida if your spouse refuses to sign documents or attend court hearings.
