Dade City & Zephyrhills Divorce Attorney

DivorceThe State of Florida is a “No Fault” divorce state, meaning it is not necessary to prove the conduct of one spouse was inappropriate to obtain dissolution of marriage. The requirements for dissolving a marriage are outlined in Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes. The basics are:

  • The marriage must be “Irretrievably Broken.” This requirement can be satisfied by one of the parties testifying in court under oath.
  • Prior to filing the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, one party must have resided in Florida in the six (6) months prior to the petition being filed with the court.

The Dangers of Buying Forms Online and Doing It Yourself

There is no substitute for having an experienced divorce lawyer on your side when your relationship is broken and emotions are high.

The divorce attorneys at the Madonna Law Group have witnessed firsthand the pitfalls and dangers of people who represent themselves after buying blank forms online. We receive calls on a weekly basis from people who request our assistance fixing an error after attempting to represent themselves pro se. Frequently, these errors end up costing the client more in the long run than if they would have hired a competent family law attorney to handle the dissolution of marriage from the beginning.

Keep in mind that if you represent yourself, you will be held to the same standards as attorneys well versed in divorce law matters. The consequences can be extremely severe and costly if you forget to place a check mark in the appropriate box, fail to file a document with the court in a timely manner, fail to make an objection at the appropriate time, or fail to address an issue that concerns the court.

To avoid these pitfalls, call (352) 567-0411 to talk with one of our divorce lawyers. We are available to start working on your case today.
