How long does a divorce typically take in Florida?
The timeline varies based on whether the divorce is contested, how complex the issues are, and whether both parties can reach a settlement quickly. Some cases resolve within a few months, while more complicated disputes can take a year or longer.
What factors influence child custody decisions?
Florida courts prioritize the child’s best interests, considering factors like each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s existing living situation, and the level of cooperation between parents. We help you present a strong case to achieve a fair custody arrangement.
Can child support or custody orders be modified after the divorce is final?
Yes. If there has been a substantial change in circumstances—such as relocation, a significant income shift, or a change in the child’s needs—you may request a modification. Our team can assess your situation and guide you through the process.
