Am I entitled to alimony?

Posted in Legal Questions - Personal Injury Law

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.

Common law marriage?

Is common law marriage recognized in Florida?

Not unless the parties began to cohabitate continuously before 1970. Any issues regarding distribution of property are not generally addressed under Florida matrimonial law. Custody and support issues regarding minor children are addressed under the paternity portion of Florida law.

Files first for divorce?

Posted in Legal Questions - Personal Injury Law

Does it matter who files first for divorce?

No. Either a husband or a wife can bring a petition for dissolution of marriage. In some circumstances the party against whom the petition is filed may bring a counter petition for dissolution to address issues not raised in the petition. There is no benefit to winning the footrace to the courthouse, as the court will not view one party as more deserving of the relief they request based solely upon their filing first.
