Note: Real legal advice comes only from working directly with a lawyer who can tailor the law to your unique circumstances. The following answers are general information only.
Why would someone choose mediation in a divorce?
Mediation in Florida divorce is required, but beyond that, many families find it a constructive way to resolve disputes privately and with less emotional and financial cost than trial.
Why hire an attorney?
Once legal procedures begin, informal negotiation or “telling it like it is” rarely works. Legal disputes follow technical rules, and an experienced attorney ensures those rules are followed while protecting your rights.
What is a no-fault divorce?
A no-fault divorce allows either spouse to end the marriage without proving the other person did anything wrong. You can petition for divorce simply by stating that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
What does the phrase parental responsibility mean?
Parental responsibility refers to the right to make significant decisions about a child’s welfare – education, medical care, religion and other major life choices. It is usually shared by both parents unless the court finds sole responsibility is in the child’s best interests.
How long will a divorce take?
For uncontested or minimally disputed divorces, the process may take around three to six months in Florida. Highly contested or complex cases can take considerably longer.
