Getting a Divorce in Florida
Florida is a no-fault divorce state which means that you cannot allege a spouse's wrongdoing as the cause of a divorce. Most divorces are based on the grounds that irreconcilable differences have caused the breakdown of the marriage. Fault, however may be considered as a factor in dividing marital property and awarding alimony. At least one spouse must be a resident of the state of Florida for at least 6 months (180 days) before filing for a divorce. Are you considering divorce? Contact the law office of Darnelle P. Toth, to discuss your individual case and your legal options.
Paternity, Child Support and Child Custody
Paternity actions can be filed by the mother or the father to establish the legal rights and obligations of the father. Establishing paternity is an important step to obtaining child support and visitation. Different circumstances such as if the father is "acknowledged" or "presumed" gives rise to different legal issues. Blood tests and DNA testing can determine affirmative paternity with 99.9% accurracy and rule out paternity with a 100% accuracy. Attorney Toth can explain the current state of Florida paternity laws and your legal rights in resolving these complex and delicate legal issues.
