Statutes and rules

The sections these guides rely on

Short reference pages on the Florida statutes that decide most family law cases. Each states when it was last checked and links to the legislature’s own text.

§ 61.08 Alimony The four types Florida still allows, and the caps on each. § 61.075 Equitable distribution Why equitable does not mean equal, and what makes an asset marital. § 61.30 Child support How the guidelines figure is calculated, and what changes it.
When reading is not enough

The full preparation system

Six parts that take you from deciding to file to walking into a consultation prepared. Written by the same attorney, for Florida only.
