Frequently Asked Questions
Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither spouse has to prove wrongdoing to file for divorce. One spouse must file a petition, exchange financial information, and resolve issues such as property division, support, and parenting plans. Some cases resolve quickly through agreement, while others require court involvement.
Florida courts determine custody—referred to as time-sharing—based on the child’s best interests. Factors may include each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, involvement in the child’s life, and willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent. Parenting plans are required in all cases involving minor children.
Child support in Florida is calculated using statutory guidelines that consider both parents’ incomes, time-sharing arrangements, healthcare costs, and other relevant expenses. While the guidelines provide a standard calculation, adjustments may apply depending on the circumstances of the case.
Yes. Custody and child support orders may be modified if there has been a substantial, material change in circumstances, such as a significant change in income, relocation, or changes affecting the child’s needs. Court approval is required for any modification.
Not all family law matters require a court appearance. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if the parties cannot reach an agreement, court hearings or a trial may be necessary to resolve disputed issues.
The length of a family law case varies depending on its complexity and whether the parties agree on key issues. Some uncontested matters may resolve in a few months, while contested cases can take longer. Timelines depend on court schedules and the specifics of each case.
It’s helpful to bring any relevant documents, such as court papers, financial information, prenuptial agreements, or prior orders. You should also be prepared to discuss your goals and concerns so the attorney can better understand your situation.
If a court order is not being followed, legal remedies may be available. The court can enforce its orders through various means, which may include modification, enforcement motions, or other legal actions depending on the situation.
