What is a legal separation and how is it different from a divorce?

Although technically in Florida there is no legal separation, a couple who wants to live apart, but does not wish to divorce can file an action for "Support Unconnected with Dissolution of Marriage," or "Separate Maintenance," which would allow one spouse to move out of the family home and request alimony and/or child support without a formal divorce decree. Another option is for the couple to draw up a settlement agreement that outlines the terms of the separation that both agree to and sign.

Couples may want to live apart but not divorce because of health insurance concerns, Social Security and pension benefit waiting periods, or they may just want a trial separation.

Satisfying your divorce law needs with competence and care

Nearly every divorce will require a discussion about the division of assets and debt, and alimony if it is appropriate.  If a divorcing couple has minor children, working out the details of child custody and visitation has been one of the most contentious issues to resolve.

Couples who have a prenuptial agreement often find that the agreement helps reduce the amount of conflict about marital property, which can make that aspect of the settlement agreement that much simpler.

Our divorce attorneys shoulder the burden of handling all of the details of your divorce case. We fight for your fair share of property and assets and ensure you are not burdened with an unfair portion of marital debt.

Experienced help with military divorce

There are differences between a Florida military divorce and a civilian divorce. There are state and federal laws that protect active duty military personnel, especially those serving in war, from being served with divorce papers when they are unable to respond. There are also differences in the way military benefits are calculated and divided, and in how alimony and child support is ordered.

At Mara Law, P.A., Attorneys at Law, we have experience dealing with all of the intricacies of military divorces. We work toward what is best for you and your family with compassion and integrity.
