Answer:

Assuming you meet the residency requirements in Florida (one party to a divorce must have resided in Florida for six months before filing the petition), and you and your spouse are willing to agree to all terms and conditions of your divorce, you may file an uncontested divorce based on the grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken. You may use the forms packages offered through USLF (which start at $35.00) at the link below to file a petition for dissoultion of marriage in circuit court.

If you and your spouse can not agree on the terms of your divorce, you must file a contested divorce and may use the contested divorce forms available through USLF. You should consult a local attorney when filing a contested divorce.

FAQs

Accepting a divorce you didn't want can be emotionally challenging. Start by allowing yourself to grieve the loss of the relationship. Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to help process your feelings. Understanding that divorce is a legal process can also help. In Florida, if your spouse has filed for divorce, you may need to respond legally, even if you disagree. Consider discussing your feelings with a mediator or counselor to explore your options and find closure.
