Divorce
Florida is a no-fault state which means a couple does not have to have grounds to seek a divorce. The only reason necessary is that the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.
Any and all issues existing between a couple can be addressed in one of the following ways: a Judge decides through contested litigation; the parties negotiate a settlement directly with one another; or the parties negotiate a settlement with the assistance of a mediator.
