Best Divorce Attorney in Boca Raton — Handling Divorce Cases in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Broward and Palm Beach County, Florida
Florida is a no-fault state for divorce, which means that you do not need to prove fault on the part of your spouse — such as adultery or abandonment — in order to obtain a divorce. The two means by which a divorce can be obtained are if the marriage is irretrievably broken, or if one spouse is mentally incapacitated.
The divorce process consists of a complex of challenges — not just legal but parental, financial, and emotional. Barbra Amron Weisberg, P.A. is fully devoted to making sure you are prepared for and adjust to all of the challenges and changes that you and your family will undergo, and our aim is to protect your interests across the broad spectrum of challenges you will need to meet and overcome.
Even though fault is not required to obtain a divorce, fault can play a factor when awarding alimony as well as when determining an equitable distribution of the assets and liabilities of the parties.
