In determining the amount of alimony, a court will look at whether the spouse requesting alimony has a need and then determine if the other spouse has the ability to satisfy, all or part, of that need. The award of alimony may not leave the paying party destitute or unable to support themselves.

You have invested years in your marriage and ensuring that you are getting what you are entitled to as a matter of law and assuring that the terms of a settlement are inclusive of things you likely will not think about is key. It is money well spent to avoid costly mistakes, such as sloppy agreements, in the long run. The expense of a lawyer is directly in line with how complicated the issues of the marital estate, but even more telling as to the cost is how cooperative the parties are. Cooperation between the parties is the best way to keep costs down.

If you have assets to divide or children together, you will want to hire a lawyer because a Parenting Plan with timesharing and parental responsibility is required. Child support figures that are mandated by court and alimony issues are best served by hiring an attorney.

If you have an uncontested matter, no children, and nothing to split up or divide and there is no alimony being paid, then I would say you dont need a lawyer. You can simply download the Simplified Divorce Form from the Florida Supreme Court, fill it out and follow the instructions. You will have to pay a filing fee but it is fairly easy to get through the process.

There are no guarantees in life, and even though when you get married, it feels like forever, things change, and life throws you into situations that you would never have before considered. The question of whether or not to have a postnuptial agreement is a personal one.

Essentially a postnuptial agreement is the same as a prenuptial except for one thing; the timing. Prenuptial agreements are drafted, reviewed, and signed before the couple is married. A postnuptial is not created until after the couple is married.

A home is typically one of the largest marital assets co-owned by both spouses and you will need to decide what to do with it. In most divorce situations, you will typically have three options in dealing with the house First Sell the House and Divide the Proceeds, Second One Spouse Buys out the Other Spouse Who Keeps the House OR Continue to Co-Own the House Until a Decision Can Be Made Later
