Miami Divorce FAQ

Is Florida a No-Fault Divorce State?

Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that there does not have to be any particular reason that exists to enable you to obtain a divorce from your spouse.

Either party can file to end the marriage and the only ground required is that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” It is not required that your spouse agree to a divorce. If one spouse wants a divorce, then the court will dissolve the marriage.

How Long Does it Take to Get a Divorce in Miami?

The fastest you can get a divorce in Florida is about 30 days; however, most divorces take longer. It's not possible to say exactly how long your divorce will take, since each divorce case is different and has its own unique challenges.

That being said, uncontested divorces can be finalized in as little as a few months, while contested divorces usually take longer, often a year or more.
