Residency Requirements in Florida

Learn How a Jacksonville Divorce Attorney Can Help

In order to be eligible to file for divorce in Florida, there are certain requirements must be met. One of the parties to the marriage must reside in Florida for 6 months before filing their petition for divorce in a Florida court. This petition can be filed in either county which the parties reside if they both reside in Florida.

Many people think that they have to file their divorce in the state in which they were married, but this is inaccurate. At Hutchinson Law, we handle all aspects of divorce cases for our clients. If you are in need of a qualified, experienced Jacksonville divorce lawyer to represent you in a divorce, contact our offices today.
