Divorce Law
Florida
permits 'irreconcilable differences' type no fault divorces as well as fault
divorces. You must live in Florida for 6 months before you can obtain a
divorce. For an uncontested divorce you need a marital separation agreement
and a short hearing is required. The process can take as little as 30 days.
The dissolution of marriage action should be filed in either (1) the county
where the defendant resides; or (2) the county where the spouses last lived
together prior to separating.
