FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does divorce work in Florida?
Florida divorce begins with a petition and involves resolving issues such as property, parenting, and support. The case may settle by agreement or proceed to court.
How is property divided in a Florida divorce?
Florida generally divides marital assets and debts equitably, meaning fairly based on the circumstances. Non-marital property may remain with the spouse who owns it.
Do I need to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many family law cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If an agreement cannot be reached, a court hearing may be necessary.
What is a parenting plan?
A parenting plan outlines how parents will share responsibilities and make decisions for their children, including time-sharing and communication.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any relevant court documents, financial records, agreements, and information about your children, assets, debts, and current legal situation.
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts focus on the child’s best interests when determining parental responsibility and time-sharing, considering factors outlined in Florida law.
How is child support calculated?
Child support is generally based on factors such as each parent’s income, the number of children, health insurance, childcare costs, and the time-sharing schedule.
Can a parenting plan or support order be modified?
Yes. A parenting plan or support order may be modified when legal requirements are met, such as a substantial change in circumstances.
How much does it cost to hire a Family Law attorney?
