Common Florida Divorce Questions and Answers:
Q: Are these divorce case steps the same every time,
in every court?
A: There are some variations.
The one thing you can expect is to go to mediation. It is required
in Florida Divorce Law. Otherwise, the steps show the most common
procedures in most
divorce courts. Of course,
judges have the
discretion to change the sequence.
Q: Do men automatically get screwed? (excuse our
language!
A: Florida Divorce law is gender
neutral. Neither Men nor Women automatically get a given
outcome. Man or Woman, you must become educated about Florida
Divorce law and use that
knowledge to get the best outcome possible.
Q: My spouse doesn't want to pay child support.
How does this work?
A: You can almost count on some type of
child support due from one parent to another. Florida
divorce law is
really "big" on the issue of child support.
Q: Do I give up everything if I move out?
A: You
can move out and still have full rights in your property. But
be aware, if there are children and you move out without them - your
chances of gaining custody are reduced. If you reference the above
divorce steps, it may not be in your interest to move out before
mediation.
Q: How long will my divorce take?
A: If everyone
signs all the divorce paperwork - 3 months. If you have to go
through
mediation - 3 to 6 months. If you fight till the end -
1 to 2 years.
Q: How much will this divorce cost me?
A: One cost that
remains steady is the court filing fee for a dissolution of
marriage: $363. As for a
divorce attorney fee, we offer
several options from $575 up to $5500.
Q: Where do I start?
A: No matter how you do it,
the best way to start is with our in-office consultation. That
is the first logical step to any divorce. We
charge a discounted price: $90. You leave with a ton of
divorce information. There is no further obligation,
everything is a secret, and we also give you several alternatives if
you would like to hire us as your divorce lawyer.
Q: Can I stop the divorce?
A: No.
Florida
divorce law allows for divorce if only one spouse desires to
proceed and states the marriage is broken. You can slow down
the divorce but that will only have negative effects on your
children and assets. But do not let this discourage you if the
marriage can be saved. Always try to save your marriage before
all else.
