Florida is a no-fault state, so a same sex spouse seeking divorce does not have to prove wrongdoing. The petition states that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and the case proceeds from there. The same six-month residency requirement and procedural steps apply equally.
No-fault keeps the focus on dividing property, deciding support, and arranging time-sharing rather than assigning blame, which is generally to a client’s advantage. If you have questions about how the process applies to your situation, an attorney at Brodzki Jacobs can answer them when you call 954-932-8300.
