Dissolving a marriage in Florida sets off a legal process that touches nearly every aspect of the financial and family life the parties have built together. For Kissimmee residents, that process runs through Osceola County circuit court and is governed by Florida statutes that dictate how property is divided, how support is calculated, and how parenting arrangements are structured. A divorce attorney in Kissimmee provides the legal guidance needed to move through that process with a clear understanding of what is at stake and what the realistic range of outcomes looks like.
Brodzki Jacobs handles divorce cases for clients in Kissimmee and throughout Osceola County, representing individuals in contested proceedings and in uncontested divorces where the parties have reached agreement and need proper documentation and court filing. The firm's practice covers the full scope of what Florida divorce law requires. Contact Brodzki Jacobs to get a clear picture of how the process applies to your specific situation.
Florida divides marital property according to the principle of equitable distribution, which begins with a presumption of equal division but allows the court to adjust that split when the facts justify it. Marital assets include most property acquired during the marriage regardless of whose name appears on the title. Separate property, meaning assets owned before marriage or received as individual inheritance or gifts during the marriage, generally remains with the original owner provided it was not commingled with marital funds. Kissimmee divorce attorneys at Brodzki Jacobs analyze the full asset picture to identify what is subject to division, what may be protected, and where the strongest arguments lie for each client's position. If you have questions about how specific assets will be treated in your divorce, that conversation is the right place to start.
The substantial majority of Florida divorces resolve before reaching trial, most through direct negotiation or mediation. Osceola County courts require mediation in contested divorce cases before a trial date is set, giving parties a structured opportunity to reach agreement with a neutral mediator facilitating the discussion. Brodzki Jacobs prepares Kissimmee clients for mediation as thoroughly as for trial. The agreements reached in mediation are binding, and the quality of legal preparation going into that session shapes what comes out of it. Contact the firm well before your mediation date so that preparation can be thorough.
