Florida Family Law guides

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Florida
Florida adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. 3 days for newborns; longer for older children, varies.
Alimony in Florida: How It Works
Florida calls it alimony. Florida's 2023 reform (SB 1416) ELIMINATED permanent alimony and capped durational alimony at 50% of marriage length for short marriages, 60% for moderate, and 75% for long.
Annulment in Florida
An annulment in Florida declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Bigamy, incest, mental incapacity.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Florida
Florida child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. Statutory policy that BOTH parents share parental responsibilities (and time) unless detrimental to the child. Equal time-sharing has been a policy presumption since HB 1301 (2023).
Child Emancipation in Florida
Florida child emancipation generally requires age 16 or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Florida
Florida child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. 60 days written notice for moves over 50 miles for over 60 days.
Child Support Calculations in Florida
Florida calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Florida
Florida unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Florida
Florida collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Florida
Florida abolished new common-law marriages, but marriages established before the abolition date remain legally valid.
Family-Court Contempt in Florida
Florida family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Florida
Florida is a pure no-fault state — divorce is granted on the basis of an irretrievable breakdown. No fault grounds are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who gets alimony?

It depends on state law — typically the length of the marriage, the income gap and each spouse's ability to support themselves.

Can alimony be changed later?

Often, if there's a major change in circumstances, unless the agreement says it can't be modified.

Do I need a family lawyer if we agree on everything?

Not always, but a lawyer can make sure the agreement is complete, fair and enforceable — especially when children, a home or retirement accounts are involved.

How much does a family lawyer in Clearwater cost?

Most charge hourly against a retainer; some offer flat fees for uncontested matters. Ask for the fee structure in writing at your first meeting.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Any court papers, a list of assets and debts, recent pay stubs and tax returns, and notes on your children's schedule if custody is involved.
