Divorce Law and Collaborative Law
Florida is a no fault state, which means that you can get divorced without your spouse's consent and for any reasons as long as you or your spouse has resided in Florida for at least six months.  There are contested divorce cases where there is a spouse who does not wish to divorce, and contests the issues involved in the divorce, such as property division, child custody and support, and alimony.  There are also uncontested divorce cases where the spouses have agreed to the divorce, but may still have issues of disagreement relating to those same issues.

Collaborative law is a way to divorce where you and your spouse, and each of your attorneys sign a contract to have a collaborative divorce in order to resolve your divorce without going to court and spending your financial resources on costly discovery.  Each of you must have an attorney advising you, who is trained and experienced in collaborative law.

Regardless of whether you decide to file for dissolution of marriage or to resolve your differences in a more collaborative approach, please consider the issues that will become pertinent as you proceed on this path:

  1. Division of Property and Debts

  2. Medical and Dental Insurance Coverage

  3. Alimony

  4. Tax Consequences of Property Division and Alimony Payments

  5. Custody

  6. Visitation and Time Sharing

  7. Shared Parental Responsibility

  8. Child Support

  9. Relocation Of Parent After Divorce

  10. Life Insurance and Retirement Benefits
