Divorce in Florida

Divorce, legally known as the dissolution of marriage, is one of the most significant transitions a person can face. Our Florida divorce lawyers help clients through every phase of this process, whether it involves amicable negotiations or complex courtroom litigation.

Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that either spouse can file for divorce without proving wrongdoing. The only legal requirement is that one spouse has lived in Florida for at least six months prior to filing.

Key issues addressed during a Florida divorce include:

• Equitable distribution of property and debts
• Spousal support (alimony)
• Child custody and parenting time
• Child support and financial planning

Our Florida divorce attorneys are skilled in identifying, valuing, and dividing marital assets such as homes, investments, retirement accounts, and business interests. We ensure that your financial future is protected, whether you are negotiating a fair settlement or preparing for trial.

Understanding the Types of Divorce in Florida

At Florida Law Advisers, P.A., we handle every type of divorce recognized under Florida law:

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all terms, including child custody, property division, and alimony. It is generally faster, less expensive, and less stressful. Our attorneys will prepare all necessary documentation, file it with the court, and ensure the process proceeds efficiently.

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on one or more major issues, the case becomes contested. These divorces often involve detailed negotiations, mediation, and sometimes a trial. Our Florida contested divorce attorneys are seasoned litigators who know how to present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and advocate aggressively for our clients’ interests.

Collaborative Divorce

In a collaborative divorce, both parties work together with their lawyers and professional mediators to reach a mutually acceptable resolution outside of court. This process can save time and reduce emotional strain while keeping your private affairs out of public court records.

Simplified Divorce

For couples with no children and few shared assets, Florida allows a simplified dissolution of marriage. Our attorneys will determine if you qualify and ensure that every legal requirement is met for a smooth, cost-effective resolution.

Military Divorce

Florida Law Advisers, P.A. also represents active and retired military service members and their spouses. These cases require knowledge of both Florida and federal laws regarding military pensions, benefits, and deployments.

Uncontested Divorce in Florida

An uncontested divorce is one of the most efficient and affordable ways to end a marriage in Florida. In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all key issues—such as property division, alimony, custody, and child support—allowing them to avoid the time, cost, and emotional strain of litigation.

At Florida Law Advisers, P.A., our Florida divorce attorneys guide clients through the uncontested divorce process from start to finish. We prepare all necessary legal documents, ensure full compliance with Florida family court requirements, and file your case promptly to minimize delays. Even in amicable situations, having legal representation is essential to make sure that your rights are protected and the agreement is enforceable.

Our attorneys also advise clients on potential future concerns—such as modification clauses, parenting plans, or shared financial obligations—so that your uncontested divorce remains stable and fair long after it is finalized.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements have become essential tools for couples who want clarity, protection, and peace of mind. A prenuptial agreement is entered into before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is signed after the marriage has already taken place. Both types of contracts outline how property, assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce, separation, or death.

At Florida Law Advisers, P.A., our Florida family lawyers draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that protect our clients’ rights while complying with Florida’s complex family law statutes. These agreements can safeguard personal assets, define spousal support obligations, clarify ownership of businesses or real estate, and prevent lengthy disputes in the future.

Our attorneys work closely with clients to ensure full financial disclosure, fairness, and enforceability. We also represent individuals seeking to challenge or uphold an existing agreement in divorce proceedings. Whether you are preparing to marry, already married, or facing the breakdown of a marriage, having a well-drafted agreement can provide financial security and reduce conflict down the road.

Child Custody and Support in Florida

Family law cases involving children require sensitivity and a firm understanding of Florida’s child custody statutes. The law prioritizes the best interests of the child in all custody and support decisions.

Custody and Parenting Plans: Florida law encourages shared parental responsibility so that both parents play active roles in their child’s life. However, if one parent is unfit or poses a risk, sole parental responsibility may be granted.

Child Support: Payments are calculated using the Florida Child Support Guidelines, which consider each parent’s income, number of overnights, and the child’s needs. Our Florida family lawyers ensure that support orders are fair, accurate, and enforceable.

Modification and Enforcement: When circumstances change, support and custody orders may need to be modified. Our attorneys can help you file for or defend against modification requests and enforce existing judgments if one party fails to comply.

Alimony and Property Division

Financial disputes are often the most contentious part of divorce. Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets and debts are divided fairly but not necessarily equally. We work closely with financial experts, accountants, and appraisers to accurately assess the value of marital property.

Types of alimony available in Florida include:

• Temporary alimony
• Bridge-the-gap alimony
• Rehabilitative alimony
• Durational alimony
• Permanent alimony

The court considers factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, and the standard of living during the marriage. Our Florida divorce lawyers advocate for fair and reasonable outcomes that reflect your financial needs and future goals.

Domestic Violence and Protective Orders

Florida Law Advisers, P.A. understands how urgent and delicate domestic violence cases can be. We help victims seek injunctions for protection and assist clients wrongfully accused of abuse in defending their rights. Domestic violence injunctions can include restraining orders, child custody restrictions, and mandatory counseling. Violations of these injunctions carry serious legal consequences.

Adoption and Guardianship in Florida

Our firm also handles adoption and guardianship cases throughout Central Florida. The adoption process involves multiple steps, including background checks, home studies, and court approval. Whether you are adopting a child, stepchild, or relative, our Florida family law attorneys will guide you through every stage with care and professionalism.

If you are contemplating divorce in Florida, consider these important steps:

• Consult a qualified Florida divorce attorney early to understand your rights and obligations.
• Gather financial records, including tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and property documents.
• Focus on your children’s well-being and maintain open communication when possible.

Florida Family Law & Divorce FAQs

What is the difference between a Florida divorce attorney and a family law attorney?

A Florida divorce attorney focuses primarily on dissolution of marriage cases, while a family law attorney handles a broader range of family-related matters, including custody, adoption, paternity, and support disputes. Florida Law Advisers, P.A. offers both services under one roof.

How long does it take to get a divorce in Florida?

The timeline varies depending on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces can often be finalized in as little as 30–60 days, while contested cases may take several months or longer due to court schedules and negotiations.

Do I need to prove fault to file for divorce in Florida?

No. Florida is a no-fault state, meaning you only need to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Fault, such as adultery or abandonment, may still influence alimony or custody decisions.

What are the benefits of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?

These agreements help protect assets, clarify financial obligations, and avoid disputes in the event of divorce or death. They are especially useful for couples entering a second marriage, owning businesses, or having significant assets before marriage.

Can I modify my child custody or support order?

Yes. Florida law allows modifications when there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as income changes, relocation, or changes in a child’s needs.

What if my spouse refuses to sign divorce papers?

Even if your spouse refuses to cooperate, you can still obtain a divorce. Florida courts can move forward with a contested divorce once proper notice has been given.

How is property divided in a Florida divorce?

Florida follows equitable distribution, which aims for fairness rather than a strict 50/50 split. Courts consider factors like each spouse’s contribution, income, and financial need.

What types of alimony are available in Florida?

Courts may award temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, or permanent alimony based on the marriage length and each spouse’s financial circumstances.

Do I need an attorney for an uncontested divorce?

While an uncontested divorce is simpler, it is still wise to have an attorney review your agreement. This ensures your paperwork is correct, your rights are protected, and no issues arise later.

Why should I hire Florida Law Advisers, P.A. for my divorce?

Our firm offers personalized representation, extensive experience in family and divorce law, and a proven track record of achieving favorable results. We combine compassion with strong legal advocacy to help you move forward confidently.
