South Florida
Miami-Dade and Broward use the same Florida child-support formula. These pages only add local filing, court, and attorney-match context.
Florida Statute 61.30. Income Shares model with guideline tables based on combined net monthly income and number of children. Non-custodial parent pays their pro-rata share to custodial parent, with timesharing credit if the non-custodial parent has 20%+ overnights.
A substantial change in either parent's income — voluntary or involuntary — can trigger a modification.
Changes in childcare costs or the children's health insurance premiums directly adjust the support amount.
If the custody schedule changes significantly, support can be recalculated under Florida guidelines.
Medical conditions, disabilities, or educational needs can justify a departure from the guideline amount.
Common questions
Uncontested divorces in Florida can be finalized in as little as 4–6 weeks after the 20-day mandatory waiting period. Contested divorces typically take 6–18 months depending on complexity and county backlog.
No. Florida allows pro se (self-represented) divorce filings, especially for simplified dissolution of marriage where both parties agree. However, if children, significant assets, or disputes are involved, most attorneys strongly recommend legal representation.
Yes. Florida only requires one spouse to testify that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' Fault is not required and typically does not affect property division or alimony.
Florida uses equitable distribution, which means marital assets and debts are divided fairly — not always 50/50. Judges consider factors like contribution to the marriage, economic circumstances, and duration of the marriage.
Yes. Effective July 1, 2023, Chapter 2023-300 eliminated permanent alimony in Florida. The remaining alimony types are bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational. Durational alimony is capped at 50% of the marriage length for marriages under 20 years.
