The Florida Divorce Process

Understanding the divorce process can help reduce anxiety and prepare you for what's ahead:

1. Filing the Petition: One spouse files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the court.
2. Service: The other spouse is formally served with divorce papers and has 20 days to respond.
3. Discovery: Both parties exchange financial information and relevant documents.
4. Negotiation/Mediation: We work to resolve disputes outside of court when possible.
5. Trial: If issues remain unresolved, the court will make decisions at trial.
6. Final Judgment: The court issues a final judgment dissolving the marriage.
