In order to obtain a divorce, one of the parties to the marriage must reside in the State of Florida for six months before filing the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Additionally, to obtain a divorce, the court must find that the marriage is irretrievably broken or that one of the parties has been adjudged to be incapacitated for a preceding period of at least three years.

The distribution of assets and debts is governed by Florida Statute 61.075.

It is now fairly customary that for Judges to order 50/50 timesharing, however, there are circumstances where the courts might rule otherwise.
