Florida Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage>

We have an entire section devoted to divorce and divorce issues. Please visit our Florida Divorce page for more information.


Florida Child Custody and Visitation

The court can change an order granting shared parental responsibility, including a primary residential responsibility/custody order if the judge finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances of the parties and the change is in the children’s best interests.

If you are asking the court to change current court-ordered custody or visitation arrangements, a Supplemental Petition to Modify Custody or Visitation and Other Relief is the appropriate form to use.

If you are looking to establish custody and visitation, and you are not married to the other parent, a Petition for Paternity is the appropriate form to use.

If you are changing an existing order and the order was entered in another state, or if the children live in another state, you should speak with an attorney about where to file this form. See our Free Legal Resources page for more information.


Florida Child Support

We have a section dedicated to Florida child support. Included in this section is information and links to:

  • child support calculators
  • child support guidelines
  • forms and instructions on how to modify a current child support order
  • information about filing for an income deduction order including the forms and the procedure on how to do it.
This Florida family law section is currently under construction so check back often for more information about Florida Child Support.


Florida Adoption

These Florida family law forms include several adoption forms.

The two main types of adoption are adoption by a stepparent of a minor and an adult adoption.

See our Florida Stepparent Adoption - Minor page or our Florida Stepparent Adoption - Adult page for more information.


Florida Name Change

There are two types of name change forms for Florida family law. One is for an adult name change and the other form is for the name change of a minor child.

The forms and instructions are included for each in our Florida Name Change page.


Florida Domestic Violence

There are numerous Florida family law forms concerning domestic violence including dating violence, and sexual violence.

These issues are sensitive and complex. It is prudent for anyone involved to consider seeking legal advise and support.

We have included a page dedicated to resources that can be very helpful for domestic violence.

We also have a page for the various Florida Family Law Forms.
