How A Tampa Divorce Attorney Can Use Florida’s Divorce Law Presumptions To Advance His Client’s Goals

Posted on January 27, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The filing of a Florida divorce petition may give rise to many disputes between the two parties. If the parties do not agree to an uncontested marriage dissolution the two parties can end up in a long, drawn out battle over many contentious issues. Often, the request of alimony payments by one spouse results in rigorous negations and debate between the two parties. The Tampa divorce attorney representing each spouse will use all pertinent facts and favorable Florida divorce laws to try and advance his client’s goals regarding alimony negotiations.  Frequently, the Tampa divorce lawyers will rely on the legal presumptions under Florida divorce law to advance their client’s interests.

A legal presumption means that the court will presume that an underlying fact is true. A Tampa divorce lawyer will not need to prove the presumption or provide any evidence to support it. A Florida family law court will apply the legal presumption unless the opposing Tampa divorce attorney provides enough evidence to defeat the presumption. Thus, if the legal presumption weighs against a spouse’s position regarding alimony the spouse has the burden of proving the presumption should not apply.

Florida divorce law presumes that marriages lasting less then seven years are short term marriages and no alimony should be paid. However, if the Tampa divorce attorney can provide enough evidence to prove that refusing to award alimony would be inequitable the presumption will be defeated and alimony will be awarded. For instance, if the requesting spouse was involved in an accident, which resulted in the spouse being disabled and unable to work a Florida family law court may find that denying alimony payments would be inequitable.
