Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Requirements for a Same-Sex Divorce in Naples, FL?

In Florida, the requirements for same-sex divorce mirror those for opposite-sex couples. One party must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing. Grounds for divorce can be demonstrated by the marriage being irretrievably broken or mental incapacity, requiring special legal considerations.

At the Law Office of Lisa P. Kirby, P.A., we ensure you understand these requirements and work with you to prepare for each step of the process, reflecting the specifics of your unique case. Additionally, it is crucial to provide thorough documentation of your residency and marriage as these form the basis of jurisdiction and legal standing in your divorce proceedings. We assist in compiling and verifying all necessary paperwork efficiently to expedite this initial phase.

How Is Property Divided in a Same-Sex Divorce?

Property division follows Florida’s equitable distribution principle, aiming for fairness rather than an exact split. This includes marital property acquired during the marriage, regardless of who holds the title. Our firm's intimate knowledge of local laws helps guide discussions on asset division, ensuring fair and equitable outcomes based on each client's needs.

We delve into various factors, including the length of the marriage, contributions to the marriage by each spouse, and economic circumstances to determine a just division. Our commitment is to safeguard your financial future by working diligently to achieve a resolution that accurately reflects your entitlements and needs.

How Are Child Custody Issues Handled?

Child custody in Florida centers on the child's best interests, without discrimination based on parental sexual orientation. Detailed parenting plans are crucial, addressing both legal custody and visitation arrangements. Our personalized approach assists clients in navigating these discussions, emphasizing stable environments for children post-divorce.

Recognizing the sensitive nature of custody arrangements, we advocate for solutions that prioritize the well-being and emotional security of your children. The objective is to ensure that both parents have meaningful interactions with their children, all while maintaining stability and predictability in their lives.

Can Alimony Be Requested in a Same-Sex Divorce?

Kirby, P.A., we understand these factors' impact on legal proceedings and advocate for fair, sustainable support agreements tailored to your future stability.

Alimony decisions take into account the receiving party's needs and the paying party's ability to pay, aiming to alleviate economic disparity between spouses.
