Have questions about the divorce process?
You’re not alone. Here are some of the most common questions we hear—and the answers you need to move forward with clarity.
How long does a divorce take in Florida?
The timeline varies. An uncontested divorce—where both parties agree on key issues—can take as little as 3 months. Contested divorces often take 6–12 months or longer, depending on court availability and complexity. We keep your case moving forward without unnecessary delays.
Do I need to prove fault to get divorced in Florida?
No. Florida is a no-fault state, meaning you don’t need to prove adultery, abuse, or any specific wrongdoing. The only requirement is that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” However, certain facts—like financial misconduct or abuse—can influence outcomes around custody or asset division.
What’s the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all major issues: division of property, alimony, custody, and support. In a contested divorce, one or more of these topics are unresolved. Contested divorces require negotiation, mediation, or trial—and the right legal team can make all the difference.
How is child custody handled in a divorce?
Florida courts prioritize what’s best for the child. That usually means some form of shared parental responsibility, unless one parent is unfit. We help you build a timesharing plan, address school and healthcare decisions, and protect your bond with your children.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many divorces in Florida are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If trial becomes necessary, we are experienced litigators and will be fully prepared to represent your best interests in court.
How is property divided in Florida?
Florida follows “equitable distribution.” This doesn’t mean a 50/50 split—but rather a division that the court considers fair. We work to ensure that all marital assets and debts are identified, valued properly, and divided fairly—including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and more.
