Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Is Child Custody (Time-Sharing) Determined in Florida?

Florida courts determine child custody (legally referred to as ‘time-sharing’ in Florida) based on the child’s well-being, considering factors like parental relationships, financial and moral stability, and any history of abuse or neglect. While shared parental responsibility is preferred, judges may award sole custody if a parent is deemed unfit. The court establishes time-sharing schedules that support the child’s relationship with both parents whenever possible, aiming to create stable and supportive custody arrangements after a divorce or separation.

  • What Happens if a Parent Doesn’t Follow the Child Custody Agreement?

If a parent does not follow a child custody agreement in Florida, the court may enforce the order by granting make-up time, imposing fines, or modifying custody for repeated violations. In serious cases, contempt of court could result in penalties like license suspension or jail time. The affected parent should document violations and file a motion for enforcement to maintain compliance and protect the child’s interests.

  • What Are the Grounds for Divorce in Florida?

Florida recognizes two primary grounds for divorce: irreconcilable differences and mental incapacity. Irreconcilable differences, the most common reason, indicate that the marriage has broken down irreparably, with no need for either spouse to prove fault. Mental incapacity applies when one spouse has been legally declared incapacitated for at least three years prior to filing. Although Florida operates as a no-fault state, not requiring proof of wrongdoing, factors such as adultery or financial misconduct can influence decisions about alimony, property division, and child custody. These grounds provide a straightforward path for couples seeking to end their marriage while allowing the court to consider relevant circumstances when determining the terms of the divorce.

  • How Long Does a Divorce Take In Florida?

Divorce proceedings in Florida vary in length depending on the case. Uncontested divorces, where both spouses agree on all terms, can typically be completed in 90 days from the day the case is filed, though this can vary based on court schedules and other factors. Contested divorces involving disputes over assets, custody, or support can typically take 6 months to over a year or more, especially if litigation is required. Waiting periods, mediation, and court schedules can significantly impact the divorce timeline. While each case is different, Florida courts strive for efficient processing while allowing time for fair resolutions.
