components are: (1) the Florida Divorce Statutes; (2) the Florida Family Law Rules of
Procedure; and (3) the Florida Divorce Case Law.
The first component of the Florida Divorce Laws are the Florida Divorce Statutes. As you

The Florida Divorce Statutes
In Florida, statutes are arranged by Title, and those Titles are arranged by Chapter. The Chapters
are further divided into Parts and the Parts are divided into Sections. As we go through this
overview, keep in mind that the Florida Statutes refer to "divorce" as "dissolution of marriage."
The following illustrates how the Florida Divorce Statutes are categorized. The Florida Divorce
Laws are civil in nature, not criminal, so we look to Title VI (Civil Practice and Procedure). And
within Title VI, the Florida Divorce Statutes are included in Chapter 61 (Dissolution of Marriage;
Support; Time-Sharing). Chapter 61, in turn, is divided into Part I (General Provisions) and Part
II (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act).
In order to maximize your chances of a fair and
equitable result in your divorce case you should
be familiar with the components of the Florida
Divorce Laws that apply to your Florida divorce
based on your individual situation.
In the next segment of the Florida Divorce Laws
you will find a brief description of the second
component, the Family Law Rules of Procedure.
You should be familiar with each of the above components in order to maximize your chances
of a fair and equitable result in your divorce case. You may also want to consider this three
part overview of the Florida Divorce Laws in determining whether you should schedule a
consultation with an experienced Florida divorce lawyer for your divorce in Florida.
