Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file for divorce in Miramar?
You file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the 17th Judicial Circuit Clerk in Broward County. You must have resided in Florida for the past six months. The other spouse must be served. Both spouses must complete and exchange financial affidavits.
What is alimony and will I have to pay it?
Alimony in Florida (Fla. Stat. § 61.08) requires the court to find that one spouse has an actual need and the other has the ability to pay. Various types — bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational — apply to different circumstances. Permanent alimony was eliminated for new cases.
Can I represent myself in a divorce?
Florida allows pro se (self-represented) divorce. The Florida Supreme Court provides standardized forms. For most contested cases — and even many uncontested ones — having counsel is strongly recommended to avoid mistakes that affect rights long-term.
