A Closer Look At The Divorce Process

Dissolving your marriage in Florida can be a complex and overwhelming process, involving many steps that require careful thought and decision-making. However, having a dedicated attorney to guide you through each step can make a big difference in helping you get through this challenging time.

• Filing the petition: The divorce process begins when one spouse files a “Petition for Dissolution of Marriage” with the court. This document formally requests the end of the marriage and outlines initial terms like asset division and child custody.
• Serving the petition: After filing, the petition must be served to the other spouse. This is a formal way of notifying them about the proceedings involved in the dissolution of marriage.
• Discovery stage: This involves declaring information about your assets, liabilities, income and expenses. This phase is critical because it helps you both understand what you have and what you owe so you can divide things fairly.
• Negotiation and mediation: Many divorces are settled out of court through negotiation or mediation. This step involves discussing and agreeing on the terms of the divorce, such as property division, child custody and support arrangements.
• Trial: If the parties cannot agree, the case may go to trial. Here, a judge will make decisions on unresolved issues.
