Florida divorce overview
Florida is a no-fault state: you only need to allege irreconcilable differences, plus at least six months of Florida residency before filing in Miami-Dade. RAM Law & Title, PLLC guides you through the petition, financial disclosures, mediation, and, if needed, trial. We explain timelines, local court expectations, and how decisions on parenting, support, and property are made so you can plan your next steps with confidence from Coral Gables to Coconut Grove. When questions touch other family issues, we connect your case to broader family law strategy that protects long-term goals.
Contested vs. uncontested divorce
Some couples reach agreement on all terms and finalize quickly; others need negotiations or hearings to resolve disputes. Our team pursues fair settlements efficiently and is fully prepared to litigate when necessary, bringing courtroom experience that keeps your case moving and your priorities front and center.
Key issues in a Florida divorce
We handle equitable distribution (dividing marital assets and debts fairly), support questions, and parenting arrangements. Property division can include homes near Miracle Mile, retirement accounts, and business interests; we identify marital vs. non-marital components and advocate for a fair outcome. For support, Florida recognizes bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational alimony; we present evidence on need and ability to pay. If children are involved, we coordinate parenting plans and time-sharing while aligning child-related expenses and guidelines. For deeper help, explore focused guidance on child custody and the specifics of child support in Florida.
High-asset and complex divorce
Business ownership, multiple properties, or commingled premarital assets require careful tracing and valuation. We leverage our contract and real estate experience to address operating agreements, buy-sell provisions, and property transfers, coordinating with experts when needed and litigating contested issues in Miami-Dade courts.
Your advocate from filing to final judgment
Divorce is difficult. Our job is to add clarity, not stress. You’ll work directly with an attorney who communicates plainly, prepares thoroughly, and is ready to negotiate or try your case. If a premarital agreement is part of your matter, we review enforceability and terms, or advise on new prenuptial agreements for future planning.
Common questions
How do I file for divorce in Florida?
Florida is a no-fault state, so you only need to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken and meet the six-month residency requirement. We prepare the petition, the financial disclosures, and any temporary-relief motions to protect you from day one.
What’s the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on property, alimony, and parenting, so it moves faster and costs less. A contested case takes negotiation, mediation, and sometimes trial. We build the leverage to settle fairly, and litigate when that’s what it takes.
How is property divided in Florida divorces?
Florida uses equitable distribution: marital assets and debts are divided fairly, which isn’t always 50/50. We separate marital from non-marital property, value businesses and real estate, and push for a split that reflects your contributions and needs.
Will I get (or pay) alimony?
It depends on the length of the marriage, the standard of living, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, and need versus ability to pay. We present the evidence for or against the alimony types (bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational) to reach a workable outcome.
Do I need a parenting plan if we agree on time-sharing?
Yes. Florida requires a detailed parenting plan covering overnights, holidays, travel, communication, and decision-making. We file one that serves your child’s best interests and meets the local court’s standards.
