Grounds for Divorce In Florida
Florida recognizes the following grounds for dissolution of marriage:
- marriage is irretrievably broken;
- mental incapacity of one of the parties.
Florida Child Custody
In an uncontested situation, the parties may make all decisions concerning legal and physical custody of their children. It is presumed that shared parental responsibility is in the child's best interest.
Where there is a child of the marriage the court may order counseling for one or both of the parties or take any other action as may be in the best interests of the parties and the minor child of the marriage.
The court shall determine all matters relating to custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and in accordance with the Uniform Child Custody Act. The court shall order that the parental responsibility for a minor child be shared by both parents unless the court finds that shared responsibility would be detrimental to the child. The court may order joint or sole parental responsibility of the minor child. The court may consider the expressed desires of the parents.
Child Support
Florida has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.
Mediation
In any proceeding in which the issues of parental responsibility, primary residence, visitation, or support of a child are contested, the court may refer the parties to mediation.
