How to file for divorce in Broward County:
Determine Eligibility: Before filing for divorce in Broward County, Florida, you must ensure that you meet the residency requirements. Either you or your spouse must have lived in Florida for at least six months prior to filing for divorce. Additionally, you must file for divorce in the county where either you or your spouse resides.
Gather Necessary Documents: To initiate the divorce process, you'll need to gather important documents such as financial records, property deeds, and any relevant prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. These documents will help facilitate discussions regarding property division, alimony, and child support.
File Petition for Dissolution of Marriage: The next step is to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the Broward County Clerk of Courts. This legal document outlines the grounds for divorce and any requests for child custody, child support, alimony, and division of assets. At Lindsay A. Feldman, P.A., our skilled attorneys can assist you in drafting and filing the petition accurately and efficiently.
Serve Your Spouse: After filing the petition, you must serve a copy of the petition and summons to your spouse. This can be done through a process server or sheriff's office to ensure proper delivery.
Negotiate Settlement or Prepare for Trial: Once your spouse has been served, the negotiation process begins. You and your spouse will have the opportunity to reach agreements on issues such as property division, child custody, and support. If an agreement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial where a judge will make decisions on these matters.
Finalize Divorce Decree: If you and your spouse reach a settlement, your attorney will help draft a Marital Settlement Agreement outlining the terms of the divorce. Once approved by the court, a Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage will be issued, officially ending your marriage.
