Divorce

Information Florida Divorce.

You must be a resident of  Florida to file for divorce....most residential status is made around 6 months, so again its important to remember not to move and then file for divorce, you may end up in a long wait.  Now if you are stationed in the armed forces and in Florida it is fine to file for divorce.  Divorce in Florida is referred to the dissolution of marriage.  You can file for divorce at any time in Florida under irreconcilable differences.  You can simply state in the divorce papers that the marriage is broken and beyond repair.  The nice thing in Florida divorce is that there is a stipulation in divorce papers, IF there is no argument between the spouses about divorce and everything is agreed upon the the divorce, then the marriage can go ahead and be ended without trial.

The divorce process begins when one spouse files for divorce and the other spouse is served, and given a reasonable amount of time to respond to the divorce papers.  Now if there is a huge disagreement about the divorce, and both spouses are fighting ,the the divorce courts can order marriage counseling for the spouses before they will go forth with the divorce.  In Florida counseling does not need to be directly from a marriage counselor, but it can also com through psychiatrist, ministers, rabbi, anybody experienced in counseling.... but your divorce marriage counseling can not come from a family member or friend.  I think counseling is important for any one going through a divorce.  It helps families move on.

Again just like any state, and as I said in the stipulation area, as long as everything from debt division, property division, child support, child custody.  Then the divorce can go through without the trial.  Again depending on what the spouses are arguing about in the divorce....the divorce courts will decide wither to have the spouses do counseling or move on with the divorce process and set a trial date.
