As part of your Miami divorce, if there are marital assets or debts to divide, the court is required to make written findings in its order that clearly identify non-marital assets; identify and value marital property along with who is awarded the same; indicate and assign marital debts to the spouses; and include any other statements that help someone reading the order to understand why the court distributed the assets and debts in the manner it did. Once you have this order, what’s its effect?

If you are seeking a dissolution of marriage in Miami, you should know that Florida is a no fault state which means you do not need to prove fault on the part of the other spouse in order to get divorced. For example, there is no need to prove a spouse abandoned you or committed adultery. A Florida divorce judge will enter a final judgment of divorce so long as one of two grounds are stated by the spouse seeking divorce.

Some states may require that a couple be separated for a certain period of time before a final judgment of divorce can be entered. A common question when seeking a Miami divorce is whether or not Florida has a waiting period.

If you were divorced outside of the United States and you need a Florida court to enforce the terms of the foreign divorce order, you should know about some limits the law places on enforcement. The same goes for contracts entered in family law matters in another country. Generally, however, you should rest assured most non-Florida judgments and contracts are honored by the Miami Family Court.

When filing your Miami divorce, an important question to ask yourself is “How long do I need to live in Florida to get a divorce?” Without you meeting the minimum residency requirement, a Miami divorce court does not have jurisdiction to sign your final judgment of divorce.

There are several aspects to consider depending on the length of the marriage; whether or not children are involved; how much property/debt has been accumulated; etc. Organizing and discussing how you plan to tackle these issues with your soon-to-be-ex, if possible, is important to do even before you see a Miami divorce lawyer.
