Florida family law matters are primarily governed by:
Each category is governed by distinct statutory standards.
Florida is an equitable distribution state. Under Section 61.075, courts divide marital assets and liabilities fairly, beginning with a presumption of equal division but allowing deviation based on statutory factors.
Alimony is governed by Section 61.08 and has undergone substantial legislative reform. Permanent alimony has been eliminated, and durational caps apply depending on the length of the marriage.
Proper financial analysis is essential in complex divorce cases.
Florida law no longer uses the term “custody.” Instead, courts address:
Under Section 61.13, courts determine parenting arrangements based on the child’s best interests, evaluating numerous statutory factors.
Relocation, enforcement, modification, and emergency relief may arise when parenting plans break down.

What is the difference between custody and timesharing in Florida?
Florida uses the term “timesharing” instead of custody. Parental responsibility refers to decision-making authority.
Is Florida a no-fault divorce state?
Yes. A marriage may be dissolved if it is irretrievably broken.
Can family law orders be modified after divorce?
Yes. Certain orders may be modified upon a substantial change in circumstances.
If you are facing a divorce, custody dispute, support issue, or complex financial matter, experienced representation is critical to protect your rights and your future.
