What is a motion for disqualification in a Florida divorce case? This motion is one which argues that a person or entity should not be involved in the case because of a bias or prior representation which creates conflict. In the case Meruelo v. Meruelo, 3D21-2204 (Fla. 3d DCA January 5, 2022), this motion was filed to disqualify a forensic accountant hired by the wife in a divorce case.

How much does a Florida divorce court rely on expert testimony? In many cases, expert testimony is helpful in shedding light on complicated issues. The most common type of expert in a Florida divorce case is a forensic accountant. This type of expert usually testifies regarding equitable division of assets and debts in a marriage, and how much alimony should be awarded based on the incomes and spending of the parties. While an expert is helpful, the court must be careful not to rely solely on the expert’s testimony in reaching conclusions about the case, as illustrated in Tritschler v. Tritschler, 2D18-761 (Fla. 2d DCA June 7, 2019).
