Are you searching for the representation of an Orlando family law attorney? If so, it may be in your best interest to contact Richard A. Heller, P.A. For over 20 years, the lawyers have been dedicated to helping families find solutions to their various family law matters. The team understands that family law matters can be some of the most emotionally draining legal issues to work through, which is why they strive to provide clients with honest and ethical counsel. Before filing for divorce, one spouse must be a resident of Florida for at least six months. Florida is purely a no-fault divorce state, which means that if you are considering filing for divorce, you cannot allege that your spouse's behavior and actions were the reason for divorce. Instead, most divorces are based on the grounds that due to irreconcilable differences, the marriage has been damaged beyond repair. As an equitable division state, each spouse owns the income they earn during the marriage, and has the right to manage any property that is in their name alone. At the time of divorce, however, the name on the property is not the determining factor. Rather, the judge will divide the marital property in a way that the judge considers to be fair, even if it is not necessarily equal. When you and your spouse are able to agree on the important matters such as alimony, child custody, and property, you can most likely file for an uncontested divorce. If you are unable to agree on such matters, you will have to file for a contested divorce, which involves litigation in a Florida family court where a judge is responsible for making the important decisions for you. In addition to divorce, the attorneys can assist you with a legal separation, paternity matters, and the drafting of pre- and post- nuptial agreements. Contact
