FAQ
In Florida, divorce records are available to the public, which means that to look at someone's divorce decree, all a person needs to do is request a copy of the records from the court clerk in the county where the divorce was finalized. Many records can even be virtually requested online.
Copies of final judgments can be purchased through the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court at the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center, Family Court, 175 NW 1st Avenue, 14th Floor, Miami, FL 33128 or any of the District Offices. Copies may also be purchased online here.
Documents are recorded at the Clerk of the Courts, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY RECORDER, COURTHOUSE EAST, 22 N.W. First Street, 1st Floor, Miami, FL 33128. You can record the Notice of Commencement by mail. The original Notice should be sent to the County Recorder, P.O. Box 011711, Flagler Station, Miami, Florida 33101.
In certain Florida divorces, a wife can pursue over 50% of the marital property. The court evaluates economic circumstances, contributions to the marriage (including non-financial ones), and child welfare, justifying an unequal distribution of assets in favor of one spouse.
The length of time you're married to your spouse can impact your divorce in Florida, but it won't guarantee that you get half of everything. While a judge will consider the length of marriage when determining how to divide your assets and if you or your spouse should receive alimony, every case is different.
Contrary to some misconceptions, there is no “7 year divorce rule” in Florida. The state allows for divorce under two conditions: – The marriage is irretrievably broken. – One of the spouses has been mentally incapacitated for at least three years.
The sheriff in the county where the defendant resides is the primary process server for legal papers. However, the sheriff can designate process servers to serve legal documents, including divorce papers. In Florida, process servers must meet specific criteria and be certified by the state.
Also, an uncontested divorce does not require a trial, discovery, or other time consuming legal procedures. That means that legal fees will be much less expensive in an uncontested divorce than a contested divorce. Uncontested divorces are not appealable, but certain agreements may be modifiable.
There is a rebuttable presumption for an award of permanent alimony in a long-term marriage, which is 17 years or longer. There is no presumption for or against permanent alimony in a moderate-term marriage, which is a marriage greater than 7 years but less than 17 years.
Florida's new law institutes caps on alimony terms for rehabilitative alimony and durational alimony: Rehabilitative alimony is now capped at 5 years. For marriages lasting 3 to 10 years, durational alimony can't exceed 50% of the marriage's length.
