Answering Your Questions About Florida Divorce
Many people who get divorced have never been involved in the legal system before. They are unsure of what to expect and have many questions about the process. At the law office of Ami L. DiLorenzo, P.A., we provide clear answers to your questions so that you understand all aspects of Florida divorce:
- Time frame, from filing the initial petition for dissolution to having your divorce granted
- Discovery, such as depositions and financial disclosure
- Determining who the children will live with and how they will spend their time, through discussions of child custody/parenting time
- Division of assets and debts acquired during the marriage, as well as those acquired prior to the marriage
- Determination of alimony (often called spousal support) and child support

Managing the Costs of Dissolution of Marriage
Unfortunately, you may not have as much control over the cost of your divorce as you would like. It often depends on the lawyer your spouse hires, as well as the emotional control or lack thereof and the role that emotions will play in the dissolution of marriage. If emotions are left unchecked, the costs could be prohibitive to both parties in a divorce.
While each situation is unique, attorneys' fees are usually allocated based on financial need versus ability to pay. Payment for the divorce can be determined at the beginning of your case, in the middle of the proceedings, or at the final hearing.
