Any spouse that is contemplating a divorce or is a respondent in a divorce petition should consult with a lawyer. This is because there are certain things you can and cannot do during a divorce. An experienced divorce attorney will help you understand and protect your legal rights, so you can avoid making costly mistakes that the other party could use against you in his or her petition.
In the State of Florida, a divorce is called a dissolution of marriage. It may sound more clinical, but the result is the same. Unlike other states, any spouse who has resided in the state for at least 6 months can file a petition for divorce simply by stating that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The respondent receiving the petition can agree to the terms for an uncontested divorce or contest the petition for a more desirable resolution.
You should also speak with an experienced divorce attorney in Daytona Beach, when you are considering divorce and you have minor children, want to modify or enforce an existing child support order, or need help with other child custody issues. Also, the State of Florida no longer automatically grants child custody to the mother or father in a divorce. Therefore, it is important to consult with a divorce attorney to help you achieve the desired child custody results, including parental rights, in a dissolution of marriage.
