General Information
How long does it take to get divorced in Florida?
It depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces may take a few months, while contested cases can take longer depending on complexity and court schedules.
Do I have to prove fault to get divorced?
No. Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state. You only need to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
How is custody decided in Florida?
Florida uses the term “time-sharing” and bases decisions on the child’s best interests, considering factors like parental involvement, stability, and communication.
Can child support be modified?
Yes. If there’s a substantial change in income, custody, or expenses, you can petition the court for a modification.
How is paternity established in Florida?
Paternity can be established voluntarily, through court order, or via genetic testing.
What types of adoption do you handle?
We assist with stepparent, relative, and private adoptions, ensuring compliance with Florida law and protecting all parties involved.
Do I need a lawyer for family law matters?
While not required, having an experienced attorney ensures your rights are protected and your case is handled efficiently—especially in contested or high-stakes situations.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Any court documents, financial records, communication logs, and a list of questions or concerns.
