Why You Should Never Trust Verbal Promises in a Florida Divorce

TL;DR What You Will Learn in This Article Verbal promises made during a divorce are extremely risky and generally will not protect you under Florida law. The other spouse’s lawyer represents your spouse, not you. One attorney cannot ethically protect both sides. Florida requires a mandatory financial affidavit that cannot be waived, and skipping full disclosure often means you do not know what you have. Marital assets may exist even when they are only in your spouse’s name, and you may have rights you do not know about. Signed divorce agreements are treated as binding contracts and are difficult to

Pros and Cons of Filing for Divorce First in Florida

Practical guidance for families. Clear, calm, and to the point. TL;DR Does Filing for Divorce First Give You an Advantage in Florida? Filing first locks in a “Date of Filing” that can protect you from your spouse’s future debts. You may get to choose the county (venue) and start mandatory financial disclosures sooner. You can request temporary orders right away for support, timesharing, or exclusive use of the home. The trade-off: you pay upfront filing and service fees and may increase emotional pressure.

Temporary orders can establish temporary alimony, temporary child support, temporary timesharing, exclusive use of the marital home, and even temporary attorney’s fees. They are governed primarily by Fla. Stat. sec. 61.071 (temporary support)[1] and Fla. Stat. sec. 61.13 (parental responsibility and timesharing)[2]. Most Florida divorces take months to

What Does a Divorce Cost in Florida? Filing Fees, Attorney Fees & Hidden Expenses

Florida Family Law Guide What Does a Divorce Cost in Florida? Filing Fees, Attorney Fees & Hidden Expenses The cost of divorce in Florida typically falls between $500 for a simple uncontested filing handled without a lawyer and $30,000 or more for a contested case that goes to trial. The state filing fee for a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is approximately $408 as of 2024[1], and from there the total depends on three things: how much the two of you can agree on, how complex the assets and parenting issues are, and which professionals (attorneys, mediators, accountants, evaluators) the
