We can handle all types of divorce-related matters, including:
Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that the spouse seeking the divorce does not need to prove fault or wrongdoing by the other spouse. One spouse must only state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” to pursue a divorce. One party can initiate the divorce by filing a petition for dissolution of marriage in the county in which both parties most recently lived together.
Florida does have specific residency requirements for a legal divorce. At least one of the parties involved in the divorce must have been a Florida resident for at least six months before filing the divorce petition. If at least one party has resided in Palm Beach County for at least six months, a divorce petition can be filed in the Palm Beach County courts.
Custody involves two elements—legal and physical custody. Legal custody allows a parent to make decisions about important aspects of their child’s life, such as health care, education, and upbringing. Physical custody includes where the child lives and visitation schedules. Your child custody agreement will likely involve a parenting plan that provides a clear framework for parental rights and responsibilities.
