What are the grounds for divorce in Florida?
Florida has both fault and no-fault grounds. However, in most cases, fault has no bearing on the outcome of the divorce or how the marital assets will be divided. Under exceptional circumstances, a court may consider the grounds for the divorce as a factor in determining spousal support. Below are some of the common grounds for divorce in Florida:
• Irreconcilable differences
• Separation for 18 consecutive months (this is “no fault” and the parties must live in separate residences during this time)
• Extreme Cruelty (physical and/or mental)
• Adultery
• Willful desertion for at least one year
• Habitual drunkenness or addiction for at least 12 consecutive months
• Institutionalization for mental illness for at least 24 consecutive months
