Top-Asked Questions
Florida courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include each parent's relationship with the child, ability to provide care, stability, the child's preference (if old enough), and any history of abuse or substance abuse. Courts typically prefer "shared parental responsibility" when both parents are fit and involved.
Florida uses an income-shares model for child support. Both parents' incomes are considered, along with the number of overnights each parent has. The state provides guidelines, but judges can deviate from them based on special circumstances like high incomes, special needs, or private school expenses. Child support continues until the child is 18 (or 19 if still in high school).
Alimony is spousal support paid to a lower-earning spouse after divorce. Florida recognizes several types: temporary (during divorce), bridge-the-gap (short-term), rehabilitative (to help a spouse become self-supporting), durational (limited time), and permanent (typically for long marriages). Courts consider factors like the marriage length, each spouse's income, and earning capacity.
Florida is an "equitable distribution" state—not a community property state. This means marital property is divided fairly (not necessarily 50/50) based on each spouse's contributions, economic circumstances, and other factors. Non-marital property (owned before marriage or inherited) is not divided. We help protect your assets and present a fair division argument.
Yes, either parent can request modification if there's been a "substantial change in circumstances" since the original order. This might include job loss, relocation, change in custody needs, or change in income. We'll help you navigate the modification process and present the strongest case for your situation.
