Why Change Your Name After a Divorce?

For many individuals, changing their name after a divorce is a way to regain independence and move forward with confidence. Here are a few common reasons why people choose to make this change:

Who Is Eligible for a Name Change in Florida?

In Florida, you must meet the following criteria to file for a name change:

​

  • Residency Requirement: You must be a Florida resident for at least six months.

  • Clean Background: A criminal background check may be required to verify eligibility.

  • Divorce Finalization: If your divorce is finalized, you can file separately for a name change. 

 

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can guide you through the requirements and ensure a smooth process.

Contract Review
  • What is the difference between Simplified Divorce and Uncontested Divorce?
    A simplified divorce in Florida is a quicker process with fewer steps than a traditional uncontested divorce. It requires both spouses to agree on all terms, including asset division, without child support or alimony concerns. In contrast, an uncontested divorce allows spouses to avoid a lengthy trial but can address more complex issues like child support and alimony.
  • How long does the process take?
    At Clean Break Divorce, our cases typically resolve within 90 days or less from the time of hiring. The timeframe is largely driven by how quickly parties agree to terms related to asset division and parenting plans. To streamline the process, we recommend that parties agree on as many terms as possible before initiating the case. A simplified divorce can usually be completed within 30 days after filing, provided there is mutual agreement and straightforward circumstances. Uncontested divorces may take longer if additional agreements are needed on asset division or child support.
  • Can I file for a divorce if I don’t live in Florida?
    To file for divorce in Florida, at least one spouse must be a Florida resident both at the time of filing and for at least six months prior.
  • Do you represent both spouses?
    No. We can only represent one spouse in the marriage. The party we represent is the Petitioner. It is up to the other party whether he or she wants to hire their own attorney.
