Jacksonville, divorce lawyer Joy Owenby offers assistance in the following areas:
* Contested/uncontested divorce
* Post-decree modifications
* Alimony (spousal support)
* Child support and child custody
* Equitable division of debt and assets
* Division of real property (marital home)
Florida is a no-fault divorce state; it does not require a reason, such as adultery or domestic violence, for a divorce. Spousal consent is not required for a Florida divorce. However, one spouse must be a continuous resident of the state of Florida for at least six months prior to filing for divorce. If you and your spouse have already reached an agreement, we offer an uncontested divorce at a reduced rate. Uncontested divorce involves an expedited procedure compared to contested divorces. With an uncontested divorce, you can expect a more streamlined process than a in contested divorce.
Spouses are able to file for child support, custody, and spousal support or alimony, even if they have not yet filed for divorce. We handle prenuptial agreements, antenuptial agreements, modifications, and enforcement judgments.
We also serve the needs of military divorce and family law clients at Naval Station Mayport, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and Patrick Air Force Base.
