Dissolution of Marriage Attorneys In Fort Lauderdale, Florida

What To Expect During A Dissolution

Most people do not know their rights and obligations when entering a dissolution of marriage. This is why it is absolutely imperative to consult with an experienced legal separation attorney before entering into the process of marriage dissolution. It can be a complicated, lengthy and extremely painful process without proper preparation.

For example, when it comes to financial responsibility for the family’s dependents, a divorce can get very complicated. Florida has a set of laws and regulations governing alimony, which is a monthly taxable stipend from one spouse to the other (sometimes called “spousal support”), while child support is untaxed and is specifically for the purpose of raising children. Distinctions like this are incredibly important in Florida legal separation petitions, which is why having professional counsel is essential in dissolution cases.

Dedicated Dissolution Of Marriage

Although all cases are different, if you take the steps needed to prepare, you can smooth the process and make the dissolution of marriage as painless as possible. This can mean the difference between emotional salvation and devastation for more fragile members of the family, like children. Legal separation is considered one of the most stressful and debilitating life events that can befall anyone. According to the Holmes and Rahe stress scale, divorce outranks imprisonment, the death of a close family member and serious personal injury or illness.
