Florida is commonly referred to a “No Fault Divorce” jurisdiction.  There is no requirement that allegations such as abandonment or mental cruelty be stated. In fact those issues do not even exist in Florida Law.  The marriage must be "irretreviably broken".
Child Support or Alimony Modifications

If there has been a substantial change of circumstance since the entry of your Final Judgment of Dissolution a modification of alimony, child support and time sharing may be possible.

Circumstances that can lead to a modification of the original agreement include:

  • Loss of job
  • A significant income reduction
  • Change in time sharing
  • Relocation
  • Remarriage
  • Medical Issues

Modifications are not considered legitimate unless they are approved by the court.  As your attorney, we will be able to assess the changes in your life, or your spouse's and we will serve as your advocate to see that your rights and needs are met.
