Common Issues in Divorce Cases

Although many U.S. marriages end in divorce, people tend to underestimate how difficult it can be to untangle shared lives and assets during divorce proceedings. Whether you have a high net-worth or not, there are dozens of possible issues that can come up over the course of your divorce. If you and your spouse are unable to find a compromise, these decisions will likely be made by a divorce court judge – and you’ll need a committed divorce lawyer to offer the representation you need.

Some of the most common matters addressed in divorce cases include:

• Child custody and parental responsibility
• Child support
• Alimony or spousal support
• Equitable property division
• Revisiting prenuptial agreements
• Domestic violence
• Enforcingcourt orders

Defining Fault in Florida Divorces

Because Florida is a “no-fault” state, you do not need to prove that your spouse was guilty of bad behavior in order to file for a divorce. Instead, you can file on the grounds that your marriage is irretrievably broken, meaning that you no longer get along as a married couple. Although fault isn’t necessary for the divorce itself, however, the court may consider fault as a factor in decisions about finances, child rearing, and more, especially if there are allegations of abuse.

Uncontested vs. Contested Divorce

Of course, even if you don’t cite any fault in the marriage dissolution, your soon-to-be ex-spouse may contest the divorce terms. This is called a “contested divorce,” and it can lead to bitter and protracted court battles without the right legal counsel on your side. Our lawyers are well-versed in handling contested divorces, and we can help you draft arrangements that will constitute a solid middle ground for both parties.
