Divorce For Florida Residents
To file for a divorce in St. Augustine, St. Johns County or anywhere in Northeast Florida, your lawyer must prove that either you or your spouse lives in this area and has also been a Florida resident for at least six months and before filing.
Residency for divorce purposes must corroborate by a driver’s license, voter registration or third-party testimony.
Out-Of-State Residents
For parties whose primary residence is in another state, we can establish jurisdiction through a “long arm statute.” This is a state law that allows a court to have authority over an individual domiciled in another state as long as that person has sufficient minimum contacts with Florida.
