Divorce in Florida is formally referred to as "dissolution of marriage."
Florida has established two types of divorce process: 1) A simplified dissolution of marriage and 2) A regular dissolution of marriage.
In order to file for either, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for the previous six months.
Florida only has a no-fault divorce process which essentially means that your marriage is "irretrievably broken."
Thus, neither you nor your spouse has to provide any "fault" grounds or evidence showing that marital misconduct caused the marriage to fail.
