Satsuma, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You may be able to enforce the terms of the agreement to pay half of your college expenses, depending on several factors, especially the terms and language of the agreement and the final judgment. The bigger question is whether such an enforcement action will yield any actual benefit to you in terms of actual dollars, or just a money judgment on paper that you would have to collect. If your father has financial resources and the means to pay, but simply chooses not to, you may want to move forward with an enforcement action. On the other hand, if your father hasn't paid because he does not have the ability to do so, such as having involuntarily lost his job, you may be throwing away good money after bad, and may be better off waiting until his financial circumstances improve. You have to be careful, however, that you do not wait too long and allow any statutes of limitation that may apply, to run or lapse and bar you from making your claim.

Florida is a no-fault divorce state. The fact that you only dated four months prior to your marriage and seek to divorce four months after the marriage is just not relevant. Because Florida is a no-fault divorce state, your wife cannot "fight" it. She can make it difficult, but she cannot stop it. If just one of you wants a divorce, it’s going to happen. Speak with a skilled divorce attorney in your area. Good luck!
