Should we file for divorce in Florida?
I am not sure what state you are deciding between but Florida is a fairly simple state to file for divorce in. In Florida, as with other states, it does not usually make a maj…or difference who files for divorce first, becoming the "petitioner." Some attorneys suggest that it might make a difference if there are subtle inclinations of a certain judge in one Florida county over the other. If your attorney knows that the judge in the Circuit Court of a certain county tends to grant large child support amounts, for instance, this may affect the attorney's decision to file first depending on whether his or her client is the money-earning spouse. Of course, the spouse only has two options in the above scenario: filing for divorce in his or her county of residence, or waiting for his or her spouse to file in the other county of residence. In Florida, spouses must have lived in the county of filing for at least 6 months before doing so. (MORE)

How do you file for divorce out of the state of Florida?
I fixed the spelling of "file" in the question, but could not make the question clear enough to give a specific answer. I don't know if "out of the state of Florida" means… you are in Florida and want a Florida divorce, you are not in Florida but want a Florida divorce, or you are in Florida but want a divorce in some other state. So I will try to show you some ways to find the answer. If you are in Florida and want a divorce in another state, you need to ask about the divorce laws of that other state. If you are not in Florida and want a divorce in Florida, you can only file in Florida if one of the parties has lived in Florida for at least 6 months. If you are in Florida and want a Florida divorce, there are three methods. Which one you choose depends on your situation. If you have no childern and have agreed on all the details (division of property, payment of obligations), you can use the "simplified divorce" procedure. The other two methods are "regular divorce" either with or without children. Specific procedures may be different from county to county. You can download the form packets for any of the three types of divorce, or you can get the packet from you local Clerk of Court office - but you should have a lawyer for a "regular divorce" because it is quite complicated. You can find the contact info for your local Clerk of Court at the first related link, below. Just select your county and use the contact info for Circuit Court for that county. There will also be link to the court's website (the court's name in blue) which may have detailed local information. You can find links to information about Florida divorce at the second related link; just scroll down the page looking for link descriptions that mention "divorce" or "family" or "domestic" (but not "domestic violence") and click the link. Links near the top of the page are statwide information, and the "Florida Family Law Handbook" is a good place to start. The next group of links applies to specific judicial circuits, and the rest of the page has local links by county. You can find links to form packets at the third related link; just scroll down the page and look for links to forms related to "divorce" or "family law" or "domestic". Links to forms you can use in any county are in the "Statewide" category at the top of the page - or you can scroll down for forms that are specific to your judicial circuit or county. (MORE)
