Orlando Divorce Lawyer

Experienced Representation for Divorce Cases in Orlando, FL

The decision to file for a divorce is never easy.  Complicated feelings and emotions can make it difficult for both parties to amicably reach agreements over the dissolution of their marriage and work towards a resolution that satisfies everyone.  If you have made the decision to file for divorce, it’s in your best interest to contact an experienced Orlando divorce attorney separate from that of your spouse.  Not only will having your own attorney ensure that your best interests will be protected, but your attorney can also stand up for your rights and make sure your needs are not overlooked or ignored.  Furthermore, a skilled divorce lawyer can provide you with the advice and guidance you need to make the best decisions for you and your children.

Florida Divorce Requirements

In order to be granted a divorce in Florida, one of the spouses must have been a Florida resident for at least six months.  Aside from this residency requirement, there are no other legal requirements a couple must meet.  Florida is a “no fault” state, so as long as one spouse says the marriage is “irrevocably broken,” the judge will grant a divorce.  However, if the other spouse doesn’t agree the marriage is broken, the judge may order the couple to attend marriage counseling before agreeing to a divorce.

Divorce can also be granted if one of the spouses becomes mentally incapacitated for more than three years.
