Who gets custody of children in divorce?

Posted in Legal Questions - Juvenile Law

Can either a father or mother get custody of children in a divorce?

Yes. The Florida Statutes governing custody are gender neutral, meaning that either a man or woman can be designated as the primary residential parent. Courts will routinely look to the history of the marriage to determine which parent has been the primary caregiver and the current ability of either parent to act as the primary caregiver.

Agreement of spouse for divorce?

Posted in Legal Questions - Juvenile Law

Do I have to obtain the agreement of my spouse to get divorced?

No. The standard under Florida law to grant a divorce is the finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken. While it is not uncommon for one party to object to the granting of a divorce, the court can nevertheless find that the marriage cannot be saved and grant the divorce over one party’s objection.

Am I entitled to alimony?

Under what circumstances am I entitled to alimony?

The right to be represented by an attorney attaches at the time that you have become the focus of police investigation and does not require that you are in actual police custody. Even protestations of innocence may inadvertently incriminate you by confirming innocent details (such as your presence at a crime scene) already known by the police. No one suspected, accused or charged with a crime should ever make a confession or statement to the police without first contacting an attorney.
