Divorce in Florida

Dissolution of marriage, commonly known as divorce, may be contested or uncontested. Florida is a “no-fault” divorce state, so neither party must prove fault—just that the marriage is irretrievably broken.

The spouse who files is called the Petitioner, and the one served is the Respondent. Once filed, the process involves resolving matters such as property division, alimony, timesharing, and child support. We strive to resolve matters through mediation, but are fully prepared to go to trial when necessary.

Paternity

Establishing paternity is critical for determining legal rights and responsibilities between a father and child. Without a legal finding of paternity, a father cannot enforce custody or visitation rights, and a mother cannot pursue child support. Our attorneys assist with court-ordered genetic testing, paternity affidavits, and court petitions. Once paternity is established, legal timesharing and support orders can follow.

Alimony

Alimony, or spousal support, is awarded based on several statutory factors, including the length of the marriage, each party’s need and ability to pay, and their standard of living. We advocate for fair alimony arrangements—whether seeking or defending against them.

Child Custody (Timesharing)

Florida law refers to custody as timesharing. The courts typically support equal time with both parents, unless a different plan better serves the child’s best interests. We help create parenting plans that reflect each parent’s ability to support the child emotionally, physically, and financially.

Child Support

Child support in Florida is determined based on both parents’ incomes, time-sharing percentages, and the child’s specific needs. Our lawyers ensure all required financial disclosures are properly filed and can assist with modifications when circumstances change significantly. When you need a Florida child support lawyer, call Fighter Law.

Legal Name Change

Changing your legal name in Florida—whether tied to a divorce or not—requires a formal petition, fingerprinting, and a hearing. Our name change attorneys help make this process smooth and legally compliant.
