Do i have to file for divorce in the same county i got married

Robert Lawrence Bogen
Answered by attorney Robert Lawrence Bogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Robert L. Bogen, P.A.
In Florida, you do not have to file for divorce in the same county in which you got married.  You may file for divorce in the county where your spouse lives, or in the county where you last lived together as husband and wife.  Actually, if your spouse does not object, you may file for divorce in any county in Florida.  But you must have been a resident of Florida for at least 6 months.

Is there any way I can waive having my spouse pay child support when we divorce?

Sheri Smallwood
Answered by attorney Sheri Smallwood (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Sheri Smallwood Chartered
You cannot legally waive child support because it is not your right to waive. The right to support is a right of the child and not a right of the parent who receives the support for and on behalf of the child. You can put anything you deem appropriate in the Court papers or an agreement, but the law will not allow the parties or the parents to waive or to contract away the child's right to support from the child's parents. The Court is mandated by State and Federal law to apply the Florida Statutory Child Support Guidelines and to enter an award of support in accordance with the guidelines calculations.

Will refinancing affect community property during a divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
In Arizona if you refinance the house adding your wife's name to the deed, then you have essentially gifted a community interest to her. Even if you do not do that there may still be a community interest in the property based upon community funds being used to pay the mortgage or for repairs and upkeep. If you can refinance the property with your wife signing a community property disclaimer deed, the you will be in better shape, but still no guarantees. You should consult with an experienced family law or real estate lawyer in your area to discuss this issue.
