Straight answers to the questions we hear most. For advice about your specific situation, talk to us directly.
An uncontested divorce, where both spouses agree on everything, can often be finalized in a matter of weeks. Florida law generally requires at least a short waiting period after filing before a judge can grant the divorce. A contested divorce takes longer because issues like time-sharing, support, and property must be worked out or decided by the court. In your free consultation we will give you a realistic timeline for your situation.
Generally, at least one spouse must have lived in Florida for six months before filing for divorce in the state. If you have recently moved to the Jacksonville area, bring that up when we talk and we will confirm whether you meet the requirement.
Not exactly. Florida follows "equitable distribution," which means marital property and debts are divided fairly, which is often but not always an even split. Property you owned before the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance may be treated separately. We make sure your assets are identified and valued correctly so the division is truly fair to you.
Florida courts build decisions around the best interests of the child, and there is no automatic preference for one parent over the other. Most families end up with a parenting plan that keeps both parents meaningfully involved. We fight for a time-sharing schedule that protects your relationship with your children.
It depends on how complex and contested your case is. An uncontested divorce costs far less than a courtroom battle over assets and children. We are upfront about fees from the start, and your first consultation is always free. You will understand the likely cost before you decide to move forward.
Often, no. Many Jacksonville divorces are resolved through negotiation or mediation without a contested trial. As certified family mediators, we work to settle your case efficiently when that serves you. But if the other side is unreasonable, we are fully prepared to protect you in front of a judge.
