Understanding Florida Family Law

Florida’s family statutes govern everything from how marital assets are divided to how courts determine a child’s timesharing schedule. Knowing how those statutes apply to your specific circumstances and how they play out in Martin County Family Law Court matters. We know that court, and we apply that knowledge on your behalf.

Divorce, Property Division & Alimony

Florida operates under a no-fault divorce system, meaning couples can file for dissolution of marriage without proving wrongdoing. Property is divided under equitable distribution, which allocates marital assets based on factors like the length of the marriage and each party’s economic circumstances, not necessarily a 50/50 split. On alimony, Florida Statute 61.08, effective July 1, 2023, abolished permanent alimony. Durational alimony is now capped at 50%, 60%, or 75% of the length of the marriage for marriages lasting fewer than 10 years, 10–20 years, or 20 years or longer, respectively, with awards limited to a maximum of 35% of the difference between the spouses’ net incomes.

Timesharing, Parenting Plans & Local Court

In timesharing and parenting plan decisions, Florida courts focus on the best interests of the child. This standard often supports shared parental responsibility when it serves the child’s well-being. Martin County Family Law Court handles domestic relations matters for Stuart residents, and navigating its procedures effectively requires a family law attorney in Stuart who understands how that court operates in practice.
