Nobody enters a marriage thinking that they would get divorced. You envision creating a wonderful happy life with the person you love and have chosen to be a partner in life. You envision purchasing a home, cars, property and building a prosperous life with one another.
Unfortunately, sometimes life does not always work out the way we plan and creating a wonderful happy life must be done without the person you envisioned this life with.... leading to divorce.
While divorce is not particularly easy, if you and your spouse both agree to the divorce, have no minor children in common and agree on what to do with your assets and liabilities- you are eligible for an uncontested divorce in Florida. Since you did not have any children together or your children are all adults but have accumulated assets and liabilities (such as credit card debt) you are able to file a specific petition for dissolution of marriage with property and no children in the state of Florida.
Florida courts determine timesharing based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as each parent's ability to provide stability, the child's relationship with each parent, and each parent's willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent.
Parental responsibility refers to decision-making authority over major life decisions like education and healthcare. Timesharing refers to where the child physically lives. Florida courts generally favor shared parental responsibility and equitable timesharing.
Florida courts may consider a child's preference, particularly if the child is mature enough to make an informed decision. However, the court always prioritizes the child's best interests over preference alone.
If your ex violates the court-ordered parenting plan, you can file a motion for enforcement with the court. Consequences can include makeup timesharing, modification of the plan, or even contempt of court charges depending on the severity of the violation.
