Casarse en el extranjero
Muchos ciudadanos estadounidenses, así como residentes permanentes, se casan en lugares exóticos del extranjero. Pero no siempre son conscientes que, para casarse legalmente allí, necesitan satisfacer los requisitos legales del país anfitrión para casarse. La mayoría de los países solicitarán al prometido no local una Declaración Jurada de Elegibilidad para Casarse para asegurar, por ejemplo, que el prometido extranjero no está ya casado o ha alcanzado la edad legal para casarse en su propio país. Póngase en contacto con nuestra empresa para comprobar los requisitos del país en el que tiene la intención de casarse y obtener una declaración jurada de elegibilidad para casarse y hacer que su matrimonio sea autenticado después, por las autoridades estadounidenses.
Domestic Contracts
The term domestic contract refers to the different types of agreements made between couples depending on their relationship status at the time of the negotiation/execution of the agreement.
Domestic agreements can determine specific terms of a relationship. The contract can express agreed parameters of a partner’s rights and responsibilities in case the relationship ends.
In recent years, more couples have begun living together without marrying. Unfortunately, these couples are not provided the legal protections of marriage. The creation of a cohabitation agreement can provide security and comfort now and in the future.
A cohabitation agreement establishes property and financial rights for couples cohabitating in an unmarried relationship. This document can help identify who gets what if the couple ever ends their relationship and provide additional protections for significant others in cases of incapacitation, separation, or death.
Before getting married and contemplating marriage, couples sometimes enter into agreements intended to control what happens legally and financially in the event of their death or divorce. These agreements are called premarital or prenuptial agreements or, occasionally, ante-nuptial agreements.
Our firm can assist you with:
- Acuerdos de cohabitación
- Domestic Partnership Agreements
- Acuerdos prenupciales
- Acuerdos Post-nupciales (also called ante-nuptial agreements)
- Separation Agreements
- Ejecución de los contratos matrimoniales en la Florida
Whether married or unmarried, a domestic contract (cohabitation agreement or marriage contract) is important to protect each party’s assets in the event of separation or death.
Domestic contracts bring certainty and predictability regarding the responsibilities of both parties and the division of assets and debts on separation or death.
Solicitud de Divorcio en Florida
En Florida, en cualquier momento, cualquier tipo de divorcio puede convertirse en un divorcio de mutuo acuerdo. Un divorcio de este tipo simplemente significa que las partes están de acuerdo en todos los asuntos relacionados con el divorcio.
Las partes pueden no calificar para un divorcio simplificado, tal vez porque tienen hijos. Sin embargo, si las partes están de acuerdo en todas las cuestiones relacionadas con el divorcio y las cuestiones relacionadas con sus hijos, pueden presentar un divorcio de mutuo acuerdo.
En algunas situaciones, un asunto de divorcio puede pasar de un proceso de divorcio impugnado a un proceso de divorcio de mutuo acuerdo. Al principio, las partes pueden no estar de acuerdo en todas las cuestiones, pero más tarde llegan a un acuerdo mutuo. Este hecho es muy común porque muchas parejas son capaces de llegar a un acuerdo durante la mediación ordenada por el tribunal o la negociación de un convenio.
El proceso de divorcio de mutuo acuerdo suele ser menos costoso que un divorcio contencioso. Cuando las partes se ponen de acuerdo, es posible que no necesiten recurrir a los abogados.

Divorcio en Florida con Implicaciones Internacionales
Divorce proceedings in couples who live in different states or countries is called international divorce. These procedures are treated the same as a conventional divorce but with the disadvantage of residing in different areas.
As a Florida resident, you are entitled to file for divorce in Florida, regardless of whether your spouse and children live in another state or country. The only requirement for filing for divorce in Florida is that for the period of six months prior to filing a petition, you have been a resident of the State of Florida. In this instance, a “resident” does not have the same meaning as “legal permanent resident” used in U.S. Immigration Law. It simply means you have been living in Florida for at least six months, despite your immigration status.
Many foreign nationals who live in Florida fail to pursue a divorce in the U.S. under the mistaken belief that they are not permitted to do so. However, obtaining a divorce, also called a dissolution of marriage, is usually less expensive and much quicker.
From the division of marital property to complex issues of international child custody, individuals pursuing an international or non-resident divorce would be well served by the skilled international family lawyers of Boyer Law Firm, P.L.

Manutención del Cónyuge en Florida
Alimony awards are not a part of every divorce judgment. For a judge to award spousal support, that party must show that a need for alimony exists and that the paying spouse can reasonably make the alimony payments. A spouse can prove there is a need by showing that they will not be able to achieve their former standard of living after considering income and any proceeds from the equitable distribution of the marital assets.
Based on the length of the marriage, the court may determine the type of alimony appropriate for each case. Florida statutes categorize marriages as short-term (0-7 years), moderate-term (7-17 years), or long-term (17 or more years). After considering the length of the marriage, the judge will consider the other factors that affect alimony, such as financial standing, needs, and the type of alimony requested.
Our firm can assist you with:
- Temporary alimony and bridge-the-gap alimony

Manutención de los Hijos en Florida
Child support in Florida is the financial obligation of both parents, regardless of their relationship status (single/married/separated/divorced/). Florida law recognizes the best interest of the child is best served when both parents are involved in meeting his or her emotional and financial needs.
Child support is a significant issue when filing for divorce with dependent minor children. In legal separation and divorce proceedings, as well as in post-judement matters, disputes often arise over the amount of child support paid by one parent to the other.
Determining child support can be overwhelming but thankfully, there isn’t as much room for argument often found in other Family Law issues, because the awards for child support are largely controlled by your net income and Federal guidelines.
Chapter 61, section 13 of Florida Statutes establishes that both parents have a duty to support their children regardless of their nuptial or living status. This means that courts can award child support when parents are unmarried, married and seeking divorce, or married and not seeking divorce.
Florida has adopted statutory guidelines for calculating child support and a full understanding of them is necessary to ensure that the amount of child support reflects the true income and expenses of the parents.
Our firm can assist you with:
- Establishing Child Support
- Child Support beyond the age of majority for adult dependent children
- Enforcement of Child Support Orders
- Child Support Modification
It is recommended to retain an experienced child support attorney to secure a reasonable, fair amount ordered for child support. Whether you are the designated custodial or non-custodial parent, your lawyer can represent you through the complex process of the determination of child support, as well as legal needs in child support enforcement.

Custodia de los Hijos en Florida
La cuestión de la custodia de los hijos puede surgir por diferentes tipos de situaciones (divorcio, separación de los padres no casados, como consecuencia del reconocimiento de la paternidad, entre otros). Dado que esta cuestión determinará la vida cotidiana del niño, su futuro y su educación, como padre querrá asegurarse que el juez le conceda la custodia de los hijos.
No obstante, el principal criterio del juez para decidir sobre la custodia de los hijos es el interés superior del niño. Para responder a esa pregunta, los tribunales tendrán en cuenta los siguientes temas:
- el entorno familiar
- la capacidad para ocuparse realmente del niño
- la capacidad financiera para satisfacer las necesidades del niño (ropa, alimentos, atención médica)
- la participación en la educación y las actividades extraescolares del niño
- voluntad de mantener o facilitar una relación real entre el niño y el otro progenitor
- antecedentes penales, historial de violencia doméstica, abuso físico y/o de sustancias, de negligencia con los hijos
Cuando los padres no pueden llegar a un acuerdo, es importante que cada uno de ellos esté representado por un abogado en Derecho de Familia con experiencia que demuestre cómo su cliente ofrece un entorno que redunda en el interés del niño.
