Florida Divorce FAQ

When you’re preparing for divorce, endless concerns seem to bubble up to the surface. Let’s address some frequently asked questions:

How long does a divorce usually take in Florida?

The length of a divorce in Florida depends on the details of your case. An uncontested divorce might resolve within a few months, while contested ones take longer, especially if you have children or complex marital assets. While I will do my best to streamline the process for you, I will also focus on finding an efficient and fair resolution.

Will I lose my house if I move out before finalizing my divorce?

Moving out doesn’t automatically forfeit your rights to the family home. Property and debt division are complex matters handled within the divorce proceedings.

However, it’s important to talk to a lawyer before taking a big step like moving out. You can be sure I’ll help you understand the implications of every decision.

How is alimony determined, and can it be awarded permanently?

Florida currently allows three types of alimony:

• Temporary
• Rehabilitative
• Durational

Florida does not allow permanent or lifetime alimony.

Alimony is not guaranteed and hinges on various factors, from financial disparities between spouses to the length of the marriage. I understand these factors and can help you determine how or if it will affect your future financial situation.

I take a hands-on approach to navigating these issues, from filing the appropriate paperwork to representing you in court when necessary.

Crossing The “T”s And Dotting The “I”s

Florida law requires both parties in a divorce to disclose financial information. I will help ensure that your soon-to-be ex complies with the requirements so you receive your fair share. I’ll also guide you through the process so you don’t accidentally miss any assets you must disclose.
