How To Get Divorced In Florida

By: IC Home | News-and-Society | Marriage


According to Florida laws, a petition for divorce which is filled by a couple or spouse shall be taken in consideration, if and only if, the couple has resided in the state of Florida for at least 6 months, if this is not the case then the couple may return to their original state of residence in order to file a petition for divorce; of course it is always helpful to consult a divorce attorney before jumping to conclusions of whether or not you need to return to the state where you have spent most of the time living as a couple.

The two most important and relevant factors divorce courts will try to determine in order to grant a petition for dissolution of marriage are:

- Is the marriage irretrievably broken?
- Is one of the parties mentally incapable of clear thinking in order to keep a healthy marriage?

Family is the core of our society, without this institution there would be no foundation for any social system to exist, this is why Florida divorce courts as well as courts throughout the country will try to look for a solution before breaking up the marriage. In some cases one of the parties has problems which may be easily addressed through therapy which will salvage the marriage, in most cases however when the court will determine that both parties will need to assist such sessions.

When deciding which method to use in order to mend a seemingly broken marriage, the court will resort the most appropriate method according to the case which may be a: marriage counselor, priest, rabbi, minister, psychiatrist or a person qualified to fulfil such task, this is of course if the court decides that the facts brought about do not pose a critical argument which would break the marriage,

If one of the parties is mentally incapable to fulfil their role within the family, the court will take in consideration all of the facts before concluding that the divorce should be granted. If one of the parties proves the mental incapacity of the other spouse the court will take the best course of action which will benefit both of the parties and the children, if any.

Divorce is the last step granted by Florida courts if they decide that a marriage meets the conditions listed above, they will however try to salvage the marriage if the relationship is not completely broken, there are many more aspects which are taken in consideration during such arguments, this is why hiring a capable attorney to handle those cases is of the essence, specially if there are children in between.
