DIVORCE
Almost everyone knows someone, whether a family member, friend, co-
worker or acquaintance, who has gone through a divorce. Many people have
experienced a divorce themselves. As a result, most people have a
preconceived notion as to what their rights and obligations are and what they
can expect to occur when their divorce is concluded. Unfortunately, many
people receive inaccurate information because every case is different. That
is why it is important to consult an attorney to find out how the law applies to
your situation. There are several types of divorce in the State of Florida and
the individual facts and circumstances surrounding each case dictate which
type applies.
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Maintaining a healthy relationship with both parents is vitally important for the
development of children; however, for most parents, continuing to parent in a
relationship that has broken down is vastly different from parenting in an
intact relationship. Florida law promotes positive interaction between children
and their parents and the law has recently changed to allow parents to
develop a collaborative plan to parent together.
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Florida law presumes that all assets acquired during a marriage are marital in
nature, with some exceptions. During a divorce, the court will try to divide the
assets between the parties in an equitable manner. This does not always
mean 50/50 and there are circumstances that warrant an unequal
distribution.
ALIMONY
There are various types of alimony that a court can award in a divorce case.
Whether a party is eligible and, if so, the amount and duration depends on a
number of factors the court will consider.
CHILD SUPPORT
Florida law dictates that all parents must provide for their children. Child
support is financial support given to one parent for the basic necessities,
such as food, clothing and shelter. The amount of child support is based
upon the combined net monthly income of the parents and includes costs for
daycare and health insurance.
