The Dixon Firm has put together a list of the top 10 tips to help you navigate divorce proceedings in Florida.
1. Hire an experienced attorney.
This is probably the most important tip on the list. An experienced attorney will know how to navigate the court system and get you the best possible outcome.
2. Gather all of your financial documents.
This includes tax returns, bank statements, and investment account statements. You will need to provide this information to your attorney so they can get a clear picture of your financial situation.

Once you have gathered all of your financial documents, sit down and make a budget. This will help you understand your financial situation and make informed decisions about your future.
4.
Stay calm and focused.

5. Be prepared for mediation.
Mediation is often required in Florida divorce proceedings. Be prepared to discuss key issues like child custody and property division with your spouse in a mediation setting.
6.
Know your rights.
Familiarize yourself with Florida’s divorce laws so you know what to expect during the process. This will help you make informed decisions about your case.
7.
Communicate with your attorney.
Keep your attorney up-to-date on any changes in your case so they can best represent you. This includes changes in your employment status, living situation, or financial situation.
8.
Follow the court’s orders.
If you are ordered to do something by the court, do it .Failure to follow a court order can result in serious consequences.
9.
Be respectful.
Remember that there are real people involved in this process, not just pieces of paper. Treat everyone involved with respect, including your spouse, their attorney, and the judge.
10. Take care of yourself.
Divorce is emotionally draining. Make sure to take care of yourself during this time by staying healthy, getting exercise, and spending time with supportive friends and family members.
