Milton, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Although you have not really asked a question, I will answer what I think you "may" be asking As long as  the party initiating the divorce has lived in Florida more than 6 months prior to filing the petition for dissolution of marriage, then the divorce can be filed in Florida and granted in Florida.  I am also presuming that both parties live in Florida.    If your concern is the wife's immigration status, that depends on many factors, and you should consult with an immigration attorney.   I hope I was clairvoyant enough in my response. Good luck, Cindy Vova Law Office of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. 8551 West Sunrise Blvd., Suite 301 Plantation, FL 33322 954-316-3496 info@vovalaw.com

There is no requirement for separation in Arizona unless you have a convenient marriage. Then you will definitely want to consult an attorney about how you can proceed with a divorce.

In Florida there is no legal separation; you are still considered married and you cannot be locked out of the marital home; you should be able to retrieve your belongings; if locks have been changed, you can change them back. The cut off for what is considered a marital asset or a marital debt is the date that a petition for dissolution is filed. You may always reach an agreement first and then file for divorce. Florida is a no-fault state and so infidelity usually does not matter unless there is an issue as to dissipation of marital assets. You may also be entitled to some type of spousal support and fees - but that would depend on your need and your spouse's ability to make those payments. It would serve your interests to consult with a divorce attorney to explore all the options that are available to you. All the best.
