How Does the Divorce Process Work in Florida?

Divorce processes vary from state to state. It’s important to trust your legal representation to an experienced Florida divorce attorney to ensure they can navigate the complexities of your case and of the legal system during your divorce.


In Stuart and Port St. Lucie Florida, the divorce process begins when one spouse files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the Family Division of the Martin or Saint Lucie County Circuit Court. The other spouse is then served with the paperwork and given time to respond—this paperwork can be particularly confusing and overwhelming. This is why an experienced attorney is so important.


Even if the parties are in agreement about property, debt disbursement, child custody, and child support matters, they should still hire family law attorneys just to make sure the paperwork is filled out and filed correctly. If the parties cannot come to an agreement, then mediation is required. In this case, trust an experienced and caring attorney like Francisco Garcia to represent your legal rights.


Depending on the circumstances and issues related to the divorce, other forms might be necessary:

Is Florida a “No Fault” Divorce State?

Like most states in the United States Florida is a “no fault” divorce state. No fault divorce means neither spouse is required to prove “fault” or marital misconduct on either party. One party must merely show that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” or that the other party has been mentally incapacitated for the past three years.

Questions to Ask a Divorce Lawyer

Before you hire a divorce lawyer in Florida, there are a number of questions you should ask them to ensure it is the best fit for your needs.

Here are a few examples:

  • Do you specialize in divorce law?
  • How much experience do you have?
  • What can I expect in terms of communication?
  • How can I contact you?
  • Will I be billed for phone calls and emails?
  • How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
  • What is your fee structure?
  • Will you personally be working on my case?
  • Have you worked on cases similar to mine?
  • What is the most straightforward way to resolve this divorce?

You have enough worry on your plate during a divorce—don’t let your legal representation add to it! Instead, trust the divorce lawyers at Garcia Law to protect you, your family, and your rights during the divorce process and beyond.
