FAQs about Family Law in Florida

What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?

In Florida, the primary ground for divorce is the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage,” meaning the marriage has broken down beyond repair and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. Other grounds for divorce in Florida include mental incapacity, physical or mental cruelty, abandonment, and conviction of a felony.

How long does the divorce process typically take?

The length of the divorce process varies significantly depending on several factors, including whether the parties agree on all issues (uncontested) or disagree (contested), the complexity of the case, and the availability of court resources.

Uncontested divorces may be finalized in a few months, while contested divorces can take several months or even years to resolve. It’s important to note that these are general estimates, and the actual duration of the divorce process will vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case.

What factors are considered when determining child custody?

What is the difference between sole custody and joint custody?

In sole custody arrangements, one parent has primary decision-making authority regarding the child’s major life decisions, such as education and medical care, and usually has the child residing with them most of the time. In joint custody arrangements, both parents share decision-making authority. There are different types of joint custody, including joint legal custody with one parent having primary physical custody, or joint legal and physical custody where the child divides their time more equally between both parents’ homes.

Can child support orders be modified?

Yes, child support orders can be modified under certain circumstances, such as a significant change in the child’s needs, a substantial change in either parent’s income, or a change in the parenting time arrangement.

How is child support calculated in Florida?

Child support in Florida is calculated based on the Florida Child Support Guidelines, which consider factors such as the parents’ incomes, the number of children, and the amount of time the child spends with each parent.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes, our team is fluent in both English and Spanish. We are committed to providing culturally sensitive and understanding legal services to our clients.
