Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?
Florida is a no-fault state. The petitioner needs only to allege that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Mental incapacity is also a recognized ground in limited circumstances. Fault is not required, though certain conduct may affect property division and support.
Will my divorce be public record in Plantation?
Yes. Florida court records are generally public, including divorce filings. Limited mechanisms exist to seal portions of a file under specific circumstances. Negotiated settlements with confidentiality clauses can help limit public disclosures.
What is equitable distribution?
Equitable distribution (Fla. Stat. § 61.075) is the framework Florida courts use to divide marital property and debts. The court starts with a presumption of equal division and then considers statutory factors that may justify an unequal split.
