Attorney Christine Aung is an experienced divorce attorney serving clients in Deltona, FL, with dissolution of marriage, child custody, annulment, and other family law matters. Our firm represents clients throughout Volusia County, including Daytona Beach, DeBary, DeLand, Lake Helen, and Orange City, FL.
The State of Florida doesn’t require grounds for dissolution of marriage (divorce). However, there are other legal requirements. For example, the petitioner must be a Florida resident for at least six months. Also, both spouses must agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Since the divorce process is an emotional and stressful experience for both parties, it is strongly recommended that you seek representation by a skilled family law attorney with extensive experience in representing divorce cases, like Christine Aung. Our law firm can help you resolve child custody, distribution of marital property, and other issues to achieve your desired outcome while ensuring your rights are protected.
Whether you have a dissolution of marriage or an annulment, the Florida law requires that both parents share equally in the financial, health, and educational upbringing of their minor children, regardless of which parent is the primary custodian. Our law firm will help ensure the required parenting plan is completed correctly and represent you during child custody proceedings in family court. As your and the child's needs change, we can also file a modification of the child custody agreement with the court on your behalf.
Seeking an annulment to end a marriage instead of a divorce in Deltona and throughout Volusia County and the state of Florida requires specific conditions to be met. An annulment will only be granted if the marriage results from bigamy, duress, fraud, or incest. When an annulment is granted, it is as if the marriage never occurred. Therefore, both parties forfeit marital rights they would typically have with a dissolution of marriage, such as child support, alimony, and distribution of marital assets.
