Florida is a no-fault divorce state, which means that neither party needs to be blamed for the break-up of the marriage. There are two grounds for a Florida divorce: (1) the marriage is irretrievably broken or (2) one of the parties has been judged mentally incapacitated. One of the parties has been a Florida resident for more than six months preceding the filing of the petition for dissolution of marriage

Both parties must be prepared to disclose all of their financial information so that the court may dissolve the marriage, equitably divide the assets and liabilities, award alimony, child support, attorney’s fees, suit monies and/or costs.

If you have minor children, your final judgment of dissolution of marriage will include a time-sharing schedule, parenting plan and whether you and your spouse will shared parental responsibility of your children.
