Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage) in Florida
Divorce Law
In Florida, divorce is legally called a dissolution of marriage. While every divorce is unique, most cases involve resolving several key issues, including:
- Classification of Assets and Liabilities – Determining which property and debts are marital (shared) and which are non-marital (kept separate).
- Equitable Distribution – Fairly dividing marital property and debts, which may include real estate, vehicles, business interests, and personal property.
- Spousal Support (Alimony) – Deciding whether one spouse will provide financial support to the other, and if so, the amount and duration.
- Child Support – Ensuring both parents contribute to their children’s needs, calculated under Florida’s child support guidelines.
- Parental Responsibility and Timesharing – Creating a parenting plan that addresses custody, visitation, and decision-making, always focused on the child’s best interests.
- Retirement Benefits – Dividing pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts earned during the marriage.
- Marital Residence – Determining whether the family home will be sold, retained by one spouse, or otherwise divided.
Your Guide Through Florida’s No-Fault Divorce Process
Florida is a no-fault divorce state, which means neither spouse needs to prove misconduct—only that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Some divorces can be resolved quickly through mediation or settlement agreements, while others may require litigation when disputes cannot be settled.
