Common Questions
Tampa Family Law FAQs
Family law cases for Tampa residents are handled in Hillsborough County Circuit Court. The specific courthouse and division depend on the type of case, and we handle the filing logistics for you so nothing is filed in the wrong place.
Yes. At least one spouse must have been a Florida resident for six months before filing for divorce in Florida. Residency is usually shown with a Florida driver license, ID card, or witness testimony.
Florida has a 20 day waiting period after filing, so that is the minimum. Uncontested divorces often finish within a few months, while contested cases involving custody or property disputes can take considerably longer. How much the spouses agree on is usually the biggest factor, and we can give you a clearer expectation for your situation during a consultation.
Florida courts determine custody and timesharing based on the best interests of the child, weighing factors such as each parent’s involvement, stability, communication, and the child’s needs. Parents who reach their own agreement through negotiation or mediation keep the most control over the outcome; otherwise the judge decides the parenting plan.
In many cases, yes. Florida law allows modifications when there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as changes in income, work schedules, or parenting time. Specific legal standards apply to each type of order, and we can review whether your situation qualifies.
You tell us what is going on, and we listen. We explain how Florida family law may apply to your situation, what the Hillsborough County court process generally looks like, and what your realistic next steps are. There is no obligation, and you will leave the call knowing more than when you dialed.
