Florida Divorce Attorney | Boyer Law Firm
Divorce can start long before anything is filed. The distance grows. Money conversations become harder. Parenting decisions feel tense. You may still be living in the same home while already trying to picture what life could look like on the other side.
Boyer Law Firm works with people across Florida who need a clear direction during divorce. Our Florida divorce attorney team helps clients look at the whole picture, understand what may happen next, and make decisions with a clearer view of their options.
With the right preparation, your divorce does not have to be driven by fear, pressure, or rushed decisions.
How Divorce Cases Work in Florida
Florida divorce begins with a petition for dissolution of marriage. After that, the path depends on what needs to be resolved, including property, support, parenting, debts, or financial concerns.
Some cases move forward by agreement. Others require mediation, hearings, or trial preparation when spouses disagree about assets, business interests, retirement accounts, parenting time, or support.
A Florida divorce attorney looks beyond the paperwork and reviews the facts that may shape the outcome. Florida’s divorce laws address the issues that usually matter most, including property division, alimony, parenting plans, and child support.
Boyer Law Firm helps clients understand where agreement may be possible and where stronger preparation may be needed.

FAQs About Divorce in Florida
What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?
Florida is a no-fault divorce state. Most divorce cases are based on the marriage being irretrievably broken. This means one spouse does not have to prove adultery, abuse, abandonment, or other misconduct to file. The court’s focus is usually on property division, parenting issues, child support, alimony, and the final terms of the divorce.
How long does a divorce take in Florida?
The timeline depends on whether the spouses agree on the major issues. An uncontested divorce may move faster when financial disclosures, parenting terms, and signed agreements are ready. A contested divorce can take longer if the spouses disagree about property, support, parenting time, business interests, or asset values.
How is property divided in a Florida divorce?
Florida uses equitable distribution, which means marital assets and debts are divided fairly, not always equally. The court may review real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, business interests, investments, vehicles, and shared debts. Property owned before marriage may be treated differently, depending on how it was used during the marriage.
What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on the main terms before the case is finalized. A contested divorce means one or more issues remain disputed, such as property division, child custody, child support, alimony, or debt. A contested divorce attorney can help prepare the case when an agreement is not immediate.
How does Florida handle parenting plans?
Florida requires a parenting plan when divorcing parents have minor children. The plan usually addresses time-sharing, parental responsibility, school decisions, healthcare, transportation, holidays, communication, and how future disagreements will be handled. Judges review parenting issues based on the child’s best interests and the need for a stable routine.

Yes. Boyer Law Firm works with divorce and family law clients across Florida, including matters involving property division, parenting plans, child support, alimony, contested divorce, uncontested divorce, and complex family concerns.
