There are only two types of marriages, and so, only two types of divorces in Florida:
Divorces in Florida can be divided into two categories:
Divorces with Children and Divorces without Children.
Here at DivorceDeli.com, we will walk you through the entire process providing you with the all the legal information and advice you need, preparing the necessary legal paperwork and even representing you at the final hearing if one is necessary. Unlike many nonlawyer services out there (and we advise you to do your research), you will actually have the pleasure of speaking with an attorney one-on-one. Our goal is to help you to reach an agreement by educating you about the issues in your particular case. Most of our clients reach agreements on their own without lengthy court battles or unnecessary wasting of time or money. If you need assistance in resolving your issues DivorceDeli.com will provide the assistance you need which may include referral to seek mediation just as a Circuit Court Judge will order you to do if the case is filed without a marital settlement agreement.
Before you take any legal steps to end your marriage, you should make sure that you have tried all possible ways to save it. Do you want professional help to try and save your marriage? Many communities and social and religious organizations offer counseling services either free or on a sliding fee scale. Or you may wish to consult with a marriage counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, minister, priest, rabbi or other qualified person.
Florida is one of the many states that has abolished fault as a ground for divorce. This law lessens the potential harm to the husband, wife, and their children caused by the process of divorce. Fault, however, may be considered under certain circumstances in the award of alimony, equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities, and determination of custody.
Each divorce case is unique and therefore results vary. Even though fault is not an issue in granting the dissolution, the division of property and possessions, responsibility for support and custody of children may become contested matters.
The divorce process is highly emotional and traumatic for everyone it touches. Marriage partners often do not know their legal rights and obligations. Court clerks and judges can answer some of your basic questions but are prohibited from giving legal advice. Only your lawyer is allowed to do that. Statutory requirements and court rules must be strictly followed or you may lose certain rights forever.
