Family Law
Divorce andSeparation
Divorce and separation are not just legal processes — they’re major life transitions. Emotions, finances, and family responsibilities all collide, and it can feel overwhelming to face them alone. At John P. Sherman, PLLC, we provide clarity and guidance so you can make confident decisions and protect what matters most.
How Legal Separation Works in Florida
Florida law calls divorce a “dissolution of marriage.” To file, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for six months. Unlike some states, Florida does not offer a formal “legal separation,” but couples can create separation agreements that outline property division, financial responsibilities, and parenting arrangements while living apart.
