FAQ
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. This includes factors such as each parent's ability to provide a stable environment, the child's relationship with each parent, and each parent's willingness to encourage a healthy co-parenting relationship. Florida generally favors shared parental responsibility, unless it would be harmful to the child.
Is Florida a no-fault divorce state?
Yes. Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither spouse must prove wrongdoing. The only requirement is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken". This allows couples to focus on resolving financial, parenting, and property matters rather than placing blame.
How is child support calculated in Florida?
Child support in Florida is calculated using state guidelines, which consider each parent's income, the number of overnights the child spends with each parent, healthcare and daycare costs, and other relevant expenses. While the guidelines provide a standard amount, courts may adjust support based on specific circumstances.
