Getting Divorced in Florida

When filing for divorce in Florida, spouses do not need to prove who is at fault for the divorce. It is a no-fault divorce state and all you need to state is simply that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that there is no chance you will be able to reconcile. The only other ground for divorce is if a spouse is mentally incapacitated for at least three years.

The Difference Between a Contested and Uncontested Divorce

There are generally two types of divorce – contested and uncontested. If you and your spouse agree to the terms of the divorce, including child custody and property division, this is known as an uncontested divorce. On the other hand, if you disagree on even one of these key issues, you will have a contested divorce and the process will likely take more time to resolve, unless you choose some form of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation.

Key Legal Issues in a Divorce

During your divorce, there are a variety of decisions that must be made for the process to be finalized.

Here are some of the key issues our legal team can assist you with:

If you have a substantial amount of assets or your custody case is particularly contentious, resolving these matters may be especially time-consuming.

“They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional.”

We used P,J,S & R PA to generate an Operating Agreement for a newly formed LLC and to file several Quit Claim Deeds for the purchased property. They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional. Based on this very positive experience, we would recommend this company, and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

“The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates!”

I hired this firm to help handle an eviction matter. The matter was contested and went to trial. Richard Ricciardi, Esq. handled the matter along with their great legal assistants. The case ended up in trial and we won with the help and expertise of Richard. He was extremely professional throughout the journey and very experienced in this matter. I would recommend this firm to anybody in an uncontested eviction, contested eviction or any legal needs. The professionalism and value I received was a pleasant surprise. The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates! Thank you Richard, Tammy, Catherine, Francy and everybody for your support!
