Florida Divorce Guide - For Separating Parents

StateofFlorida.com offers resources and information for divorcing couples. This includes child support information and links, filing for divorce, and the statutes on the dissolution of marriage and custody of children.

Remember, a divorce will NOT be granted in the state of Florida unless one of the following conditions is met:

• The marriage is irretrievably broken
• One of the parties is mentally incapacitated. Certain requirements for this condition are listed here under (1) b of Florida statutes

Based on this evidence presented at a hearing, the court will place a petition for dissolution of marriage if there is no minor child from the marriage and if the responding party does not deny the marriage is irretrievably broken.

If there is a minor child or the other party denies that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court may take other action. To learn more, see statue(2)b here.
