Marriage Dissolutions

There are two types of Dissolutions of Marriage in Florida:

  • Regular Dissolution of Marriage: Requires submitting a financial affidavit to the court and in some counties may require a couple to attend mediation. Although the couple is permitted to enter into a written agreement concerning property disposition, if no agreement is reached, a judge will hold a trial and make the final decision on contested issues.
  • Simplified Dissolution of Marriage: Certain couples are eligible to dissolve their marriage by way of a simplified procedure. This type of dissolution was designed so the services of an attorney may not be necessary. Couples are responsible, however, for filing all necessary documents correctly, and both parties are required to appear before a judge together when the final dissolution is granted. You can retain an attorney to represent you even in an uncontested matter. The cost for such services is generally much less than in a contested case.

A simple dissolution form requires the following:

  • They both agree to the use of this form of dissolution proceeding
  • They have no minor (under 18) or dependent children
  • They have no adopted children under the age of 18
  • The wife is not pregnant
  • At least one of the parties has lived in Florida for the past six months
  • The parties have agreed on the division of all of their property (assets) and obligations (debts)
  • Neither party is seeking alimony
  • Both parties agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken

  • Q: How do I change my name after marriage?

    A: A person who desires to change his or her name must file a petition in the chancery court in the county in which he or she resides.

In Orange County, Florida, name change packets may be purchased from the Clerk of Courts for $5.00, or requested by mail with payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

  • Q: What is collaborative divorce?

    A: A collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial divorce process designed to avoid the hostility traditionally associated with divorce proceedings. In a collaborative divorce, attorneys for both sides enter into a binding agreement to withdraw as counsel if the spouses are unable to agree to mutual terms of divorce. By proceeding in a non-adversarial manner, a collaborative divorce aims to protect the privacy of the divorcing couple as well as better fit their individual needs by independently reaching a mutual agreement instead of through a final order of a judge. A collaborative divorce may include enlisting the help of specialists in mental health, children, and finance in order to assist the attorneys and their clients on the way to a satisfactory agreement.
