Florida divorce
A Florida divorce is a legal dissolution of marriage. It can be agreed and relatively contained, or it can require the court to decide timesharing, support, and the division of assets and debts. The Bonderud Law Firm represents clients in dissolution cases from our Jacksonville office and in courts across the state.
The framework
Florida is a no-fault dissolution state. The court still has to address parental responsibility and a parenting plan when there are minor children, child support, possible alimony, and equitable distribution of marital property and debt. Full and honest financial disclosure is required. Hidden accounts, disputes over what is marital, and questions of waste or dissipation are common points of conflict. We have written separately about financial affidavits, marital debt, and simplified dissolution for couples who qualify.
Not every case should be a trial. Many are resolved through negotiation or mediation. When a trial is necessary, preparation, records, and a clear presentation of the facts matter more than volume. Andrew Bonderud and the firm approach this work with the same discipline we bring to other contested hearings.
