FAQ
Before filing your divorce petition, you will need to have it notarized. Most likely, a notary will be available at the clerk's office where you file.
Both parties must sign the agreement and have their signatures witnessed by a notary public or deputy clerk. After completing this form, you should file this document with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the petition was filed and keep a copy for your records.
What Is a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) in a Florida Divorce? A marital settlement agreement or MSA is a contract between spouses seeking a divorce. The couple agrees to all of the divorce terms, such as equitable division of property, spousal support, and child support.
Ing to Florida statute §741.211, Florida does not recognize any common-law marriage entered into after January 1, 1968. That means unmarried couples in Florida do not have legal spousal rights regardless of how long they have lived together.
Under Florida law, unmarried couples generally take title as either “tenants in common” or “joint tenants with rights of survivorship.” These terms may seem formalities, but they dictate how your property will be treated in case of separation, marriage, or death.
As experienced divorce attorneys, we know that enforcement of settlement agreements typically requires filing a request with the court so that the spouse who is not in compliance will go before a judge who will order him or her to comply with the terms set forth in the agreement.
In most cases, divorce records, including financial affidavits and marital settlement agreements, become part of the public domain. This lack of privacy extends to various divorce scenarios, such as mediation's, uncontested cases, or litigated cases, where sensitive information is laid bare for anyone to access.
Definition and Recognition of Common Law Marriage As of January 1, 1968, Florida no longer recognizes new common law marriages. This means that while couples may live together and share a life, the state does not afford them the legal rights and benefits of marriage without a legally recognized marriage certificate.
