Divorce in Florida

Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that neither spouse needs to prove wrongdoing to dissolve a marriage. However, there are still many legal and financial issues that must be resolved, including division of marital assets, child custody, child support, and spousal support.

Legal Separation does not exist in Florida. A person is considered married until a Court signs an Order reinstating single status.

Types of Divorce We Handle:

  • Simplified Divorce – When there are no assets or liabilities to divide, no minor children, and both parties want to get divorced. Financial Disclosures are not required for this process.
  • Uncontested Divorce – When both parties agree on all terms relating to the division of their assets & liabilities and/or their minor children, making the process quicker and less expensive.
  • Contested Divorce – When spouses disagree on key issues such as property division, custody, or support.
  • High-Asset Divorce – Complex financial cases involving businesses, business assets, property, investments, or retirement funds.
  • Same-Sex Divorce – Dissolution of marriage for LGBTQ+ couples.

 

With extensive experience in Miami divorce law, we guide clients through every step of the process, ensuring that their rights and assets are protected. Learn More

Child Visitation

In Florida, courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining parental responsibility and visitation. Parents are encouraged to create a Parenting Plan that outlines decision-making responsibilities, visitation schedules, and parental duties.

If parents cannot agree, the court will intervene, considering factors such as:

  • Each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment
  • The child’s relationship with both parents
  • The physical and mental health of each parent
  • Any history of domestic violence, abuse, or neglect
  • School record and environment

We advocate for parents seeking fair and balanced custody arrangements that prioritize the child’s well-being. Learn More

Child Support and Financial Obligations

Under Florida child support laws, both parents are financially responsible for their children. The amount of child support is determined based on:

  • The income of both parents
  • Health insurance and childcare costs
  • Number of overnight visits (time-sharing)
  • Special needs or medical expenses of the child

If you need to establish, modify, or enforce child support, we ensure that your child receives the financial support they deserve while protecting your legal rights. Learn More

Paternity Cases & Unwed Fathers

In July 2023, Florida passed a new law that says both unwed mothers and unwed fathers are the natural guardians of a child born out of wedlock. This means they share equal rights and responsibilities associated with raising the child. The new law gave fathers equal parenting rights over their children from the moment the children are born.

Under the new law, when a paternity case is started (filed), the court is required to determine parental responsibility, create a parenting plan, and establish a time-sharing schedule, in addition to issuing an order to determine child support payments. This streamlines the process for prospective fathers and ensures that both parent’s rights and responsibilities are addressed at the same time.

If you need help with a paternity matter, Cruz Legal, P.A. can guide you through the legal process and protect your rights as a parent father.

Alimony and Spousal Support

Alimony is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after divorce. Courts consider several factors, including:

  • The length of the marriage
  • One spouse’s need for support and the other spouse’s ability to pay support
  • The financial situation of each spouse
  • Contributions to the marriage (such as homemaking or career sacrifices)
  • The standard of living the spouses had during the marriage

We help clients seek fair alimony arrangements, whether requesting or contesting spousal support. Learn More

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a contract signed before marriage that defines how assets and debts will be handled in case of divorce. A postnuptial agreement (postnup) serves the same purpose but is signed after marriage.

Having a legally sound prenup or postnup can protect business interests, inheritances, and personal assets, preventing disputes in the future. Learn More

Property Division and Asset Distribution

Florida follows equitable distribution laws, meaning that marital assets are divided fairly (not necessarily 50/50) in a divorce. Commonly divided assets include:

  • Homes and real estate properties
  • Bank accounts and investments
  • Retirement funds and pensions
  • Business ownership and intellectual property
  • Debts and liabilities

If you’re facing property division disputes, our team ensures that assets are equitably distributed while protecting your financial future. Learn More
