Florida law<\/a> provides for what is commonly known as a \u201cno-fault\u201d divorce.\u00a0 Basically, you can get a divorce by asking for one.<\/p>

However, don’t let the ‘no-fault’ terminology mislead you. There are<\/em> requirements.<\/p>

  1. You do<\/strong> have to show that one of the parties has lived in Florida for at least<\/em> the six-month period immediately prior to the filing of papers.<\/li>
  2. Also, the marriage must be “irretrievably broken”.<\/li><\/ol>

    Irretrievably broken is a term that means the marriage is beyond the point of any repair whatsoever.<\/p>

    There is a burden of proof for the couple to prove that their union cannot be saved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    And, if one party contests the divorce, then the other party has the burden of proof to show how the marriage cannot be fixed.<\/p>

    There are two types of no-fault divorce<\/strong>, contested and uncontested.<\/p>

    Uncontested Divorce<\/strong> means that everything is agreed to by the parties.<\/p>

    Such issues include, but are not limited to:<\/p>
